Hi,
I already have a good tool kit, drill, needle files etc, so I’m mainly looking for a kit that doesn’t needlessly double up on tools that I already have but I’m here for your advice so I’ll look at anything you recommend.
Ideally the kit would have enough bits and pieces that I could store it and keep it for future punctures also, but I could just order a multiple of single use kits if that is what you’d recommend.
Please let me know! Thanks.
Rope plugs to get you to a shop.
Unless you have the stuff to pull a tire off the wheel and apply a proper patch-plug, every other option isn’t worth it.
Slime, fix-a-flat, or similar can destroy tire pressor sensors so you should only use them for a tiny hole and you have ABS pressor sensors.
The rubber plug style ones without a patch don’t hold up as well compared to rope plugs. I have had those fail but rope plugs kept sealed well enough to wear out the tire.
I keep a set of rope plugs and a tire inflator in the trunk, if a spare or those doesn’t sort out the problem then I’m getting a tow.
Just want to emphasize how awesome those gloopy rubber rope plugs are, you can often run through the rest of the tire life on one.
So there’s no particular brand you go for, any type of rope plug is good?
They are all pretty equal because there is like one factory in China that makes them all.
Ok that’s interesting haha
