Title: Plugging my own tires...
Post by: ndub on April 10, 2006, 12:19:46 AM

Just wondering if you can by a tire plug kit from Princess auto (can't find it on the website), or from crappy tire.  2nd nail in 2 weeks, might as well have the gear at home to take care of it myself.  Anybody send in the right direction? :?:

Buy the heavy duty kit from Canadian Tire and only use the orange-ish colored plugs, the black or blue ones are garbage.

I have been using the orange ones for at least 10 years and have never had one fail.

Autuvalue carries the orange gooey plugs as well. Think they put entire kits in their 6 buck bargain bin.

I just did one for a guy that had a bolt in his BFG AT. They work great.
