instead of leaving dumb comments, consider the fact that he just got this tire to demonstrate plugging on. after all, why plug a good tire?

[bigdaddyII]

At this point I would just replace the tire, like 10,000 miles ago.

@pantiara2 It can go pretty far

[pantiara2]

How many miles can a plug like this last?

@counterfeitG0d You are totally right on that one sir BUT on the other hand there is alot of idiots(especially young people with a low income that thinks it´s cool with "slicks" from what i have seen in the tire shop) driving around with tires that looks like that and i can´t say it´s a smart move to do.

Atleast not in traffic anyways.Anyways "expertvillage" is a DIY kind of channel so i agree anyways with what you commented cause some people just watch the video and don´t have a clue.

With respect to the guy in the video, I think he knows that's a bald tire and he's probably smart enough to not resell it. He's just showing how its done, he's not going to spend $200 for a brand new tire and purposely damage it

[mirza656]

that is not the proper way to repair a tire infact that tire is now ruined plus its bald you should not give that to the customer take the TIA class (tire industry association and learn something

@npixelvd technique? You call that technique! Ja

[Esuper1]

I did it just like that about a week ago and the damn looks solid somfar, no leakage. Only diff is I used the tube of rubber cement the patch kit came with. The patch material is so gooey I probably didnt need the cement but it did help lubricate the plug for insertion. It works and if you take it to the tire store that's one of the ways they plug them anyways. So why not learn to do it yourself. Someday you will be where there are no stores nearby and that towing cost is gonna hurt.

fuck just sell the custumer a use tire atleast, the ur plagin its trash

[Npixelvd]

In considering survival along the road, I think this is one of the best solution in order to arrive at the tire store. Thanks for sharing this technique.
