Slime Tire Repair Kit Deluxe (2040-A)

Great inexpensive kit if you're NOT a Little Old Lady trying to repair a 1/4" puncture near the sidewall of a HUGE SUV tire for the first time! The addition of a small tube of rubber cement to this kit makes insertion of the plug(s) easier as you don't have to push so hard to get the plugs in. I ordered this in addition to the professional kit I had for more than 5 years. The plugs in the older kit had exceeded their useful life and were slightly dried out and brittle but that didn't stop me from trying to use them and "practicing" before this kit arrived. The old professional kit came with too many plugs to use up in a person's lifetime, especially when there's a limited (5 year) shelf life. The OLD plastic case dried along with the plugs, leaving it with broken hinges and a few straight edge razor blades as the difference between spending $40 and spending less than $10 for comparable quality tools from the same company. Newer plugs and rubber cement included in the $10 kit make the repair job easier. I was NOT able to successfully cut the excess from the old or new plugs after installation using the SHARP razor blades from the Pro kit, making them unnecessary for me. The excess flattened after a few miles. Using plugged tires to travel more than 100 miles is not recommended; keep speed under 50 mph, and don't patch sidewalls or holes bigger than 1/4". No professional would repair my EXPENSIVE BIG tire. TUBES for TUBELESS TIRES are no longer available. After plugging my tire multiple times between the old expired $40 professional kit, and using this <$10 inexpensive kit, I made a final double- plug repair using the new plugs and the supplied rubber cement. With this repair I was able to use my SUV for over a year only adding air to the patched tire monthly. Both kits are made by the same company. At the end I injected a can of "Flat Tire Repair", but was unable to continue because THE VALVE HAD SPRUNG A LEAK. Time to replace the tire. Obviously the plugs work, even when one EXCEEDS the recommended usage. The old expired plugs worked but not as well as the new ones from this kit. For my final and successful repair I used two new plugs at a time with the supplied rubber cement from this kit to plug a hole that was AT LEAST 1/4" in diameter located between the sidewall and the tread and drove longer than a year for many miles, rarely exceeding 50 mph. I exceeded the manufacturers recommendations and these plugs still worked well. The hole was over the maximum size for repair at 1/4" diameter; I was told the hole was in the sidewall by dealers who wouldn't or couldn't repair the tire for me. (It was at the junction of the sidewall and the tread). It was difficult to push old dry plugs through the cleaned hole at first but the rubber cement that came with this new kit and the fresh plugs made that hardest part of the repair easier. I recommend this small plug kit even for Little Old Ladies attempting their first plug repair. If you get a flat far from home, call road service or change your tire. For reasonable leaks when close to or at home, use this plug kit to extend the serviceability of your damaged tire to keep your car in service for an indefinite period of time. It's best to keep to a reasonable speed if you have plugged an "R" or "Z" rated high performance tire. Be careful fixing holes over 1/4" and be extra cautious if the hole approaches or hits the sidewall.

Works great. Had a nail in the tire and used the repair kit and didn't have a leak the whole time before I got a new tire. Definitely worth tossing in your vehicle for emergencies.

If you are reading this, and haven't already, please go to YouTube and watch the ProjectFarm video about tire plugs if you are a skeptic. I keep one of these kits in my car and my wife's car. My wife is 5'3" and 110 lbs and I am confident I could talk her through using this in order to get home in a pinch. As far as the product-.. The quality is just as good as you'd get in the store. The price was competitive for items of the same storage capacity and size. I believe the disclaimer is that this is for lawn tractor or trailer use only. Here's my experience as a first-time user who was worried about longevity.. Within the first few months of living in our new house, we managed to run over 3 nails. In all of these instances, I handled it the same way. I dismounted the tire, pulled out the tire, sprayed soapy water to confirm an air leak, plugged the tire according to the manufacturer directions, and refilled the tire using one of our portable tire inflators. In total, each repair took less than 15 minutes. Most importantly, these plugs held up without losing any air at all. I have been driving on these plugs for the last 2 years without issues. I hope this helps to give a potential buyer confidence in the product.

Product worked for Car, accidentally ordered two due to Amazon’s poor website design changes. Tried to return, but would not let me. Growing tired of Amazon, raising their prices and delivering poor service.

These tire repair plugs are a lifesaver! Super easy to use and they seal up punctures fast. I had a nail in my tire, and within minutes I was back on the road without any leaks. The plugs hold strong and give real peace of mind until a full repair or replacement. Great quality, affordable, and a must-have for any car emergency kit. Highly recommend!

My wife is getting a flat tire every few months due to construction somewhere on her daily drive. I purchased the plug repair kit and it makes plugging a tire super easy. I used up all the plugs so it was nice to be able to purchase the Tire Repair Plug Pack with 30 plugs and use the same tools, which are still working great. It does require some strength to ream the nail/screw hole so not the kit for someone with limited hand strength.

I have repaired three car tires in the last two months. I always had trouble inserting the plug after reaming with the hand tool. This bit makes the hole the right size to easily insert the plug and still have a permanent seal. All three tires are still holding pressure with no leaks. If you have a relatively new tire, the best option is to dismount the tire and plug from the inside, but if your tire is in the last 20%, it is not worth the cost.

great item to have in your car. kit is well made and includes everything required.
