You have ONE second to explain why you don't carry an emergency tire plugging kit in your car. >90% of the time your spare is flat or more unsafe then driving with no tire at all on highways >Chinese kits with 5 plugs are literally $1.99 on eBay >10 extra plugs are $1.00 >paying the tire jew 20 dollars for 1 plug plus driving there >current year
Having a jump pack with an air pump and tire plugs literally saved me $270 in tow bills and $20 from the tire jews.
>Inb4 new tires
I already ordered them from tire rack, Waiting on them to arrive still. Shipping takes awhile where I live
dont keep a spare or a plug kit i just have a AAA card in my wallet
Christopher Baker
Because I check my full size spare often enough that it's never flat, usually doesn't even drop more than 5 pounds every few months.
Ryan Myers
>not routinely checking the spare and spending less than 10 minutes changing the wheel as some macgyver user in another thread says it takes
Julian Richardson
>Having a jump pack with an air pump and tire plugs literally saved me $270 in tow bills and $20 from the tire jews. >not having free remote and tow assistance Sure is yuropoor in here.
Aiden Bennett
You know not everyone lives in the city right? Some of us live 70+ miles from the nearest grocery store, Let alone tire shop that isn't run by ragheads.
Luis Howard
This.
Colton Thompson
I usually carry a full sized spare or 2 donuts. If I get a rock through a tire in the middle of nowhere one shitty donut won't get me back. Carry some plugs and a compressor too.
You're technically not supposed to use plugs though I've never had a problem with them.
So you're one of those pieces of shit who stays on the side of the road for 2 hours waiting for RA just fucking traffic up? Fuck you.
Cooper Cruz
>You're technically not supposed to use plugs though I've never had a problem with them.
Me either, I plugged a new tire after running over a screw in my driveway. Plug lasted longer then the tread on the tire, 60k+ miles, An that was on the front of a 1999 F350 4x4.
I don't believe the "don't use plugs" meme, If a plug will stay secure on a front tire of a 3/4 ton truck with 4WD, It will stay secure on almost anything that doesn't require a CDL to drive
Jaxson James
my car has a full size spare but i choose not to carry it because weight reduction
Ethan Jackson
I usually carry a full-sized spare if I don't think I can use the donut to limp home or to an open tire shop. Plus sometimes it's a sidewall puncture anyway.
But for $2 maybe I should grab some for stocking stuffers next year and keep a few in my wheel well because why not.
Jack Hall
This is what I bought, Seems to work well thus far. It's been 13hrs since I plugged it and I've driven about 20 miles. Hasn't lost 1 pound of pressure yet
Even if it does wiggle loose it still takes a while to lose all the air. It's not a big deal for a non-normie.
Isaac Butler
These are great if your spare can't get you where you need to go. They aren't the most reliable way to repair a tire however I've seen them last a few years, your call if you want to use one
Lucas Sanders
These.
Hudson Martin
>>paying the tire jew 20 dollars for 1 plug plus driving there
The tire jew will unmount the tire and patch properly from the inside. No Chinese plug shit.
>It's been 13hrs since I plugged it and I've driven about 20 miles. Hasn't lost 1 pound of pressure yet
HOLY SHIT. I'm convinced!
Luke Moore
Lol, I'd fucking hope it could go for months without losing a pound of pressure. Fucking chinks and their low standards.
Brayden Long
Uhhh....What tire jew do you take your tires to? They universally use the same method for tubeless tires buddy.
Colton King
>getting a flat tire
lol pls
Jace Allen
There's a difference between a patch and a plug my dude. Also the tire Jew does patches for free to build a customer base.
Andrew Stewart
% of the time your spare is flat or more unsafe then driving with no tire at all on highways
Maybe yours. My spare has bailed me out 3 times in 15 years, twice the puncture was on the sidewall and the tire was fucked and needed replaced.
Carter Bell
This is the stupidest post on Veeky Forums right now. Be careful at this level of expertise. You may think you can keep it separate from your real self, but it'll work its way in, and before you know it you are making gtr vs corvette threads IRL.
Noah Richardson
>There's a difference between a patch and a plug my dude.
Right, An no one uses patches on tubeless tires.
Also no one plugs tubeless tires for free, At least in the great state of Alaska.
Benjamin Turner
I've patched plenty of those
Ian Perez
every issue I've had with a tire would not have been solved with one.
Luis Torres
My tire guys don't use plugs. If they did, they wouldn't be my tire guys.
Leo Foster
>Right, An no one uses patches on tubeless tires.
Tyler Long
This is what you're supposed to use per the Rubber Manufacturers Association's standards. It's a combo plug and patch. Nothing else is as permanent or reliable.
t. tire """tech"""
Brandon Sanchez
>Right, An no one uses patches on tubeless tires. Either you're an idiot, or there is a communication disconnect.
>Also no one plugs tubeless tires for free, At least in the great state of Alaska. It's literally Big O company policy to do patches for free, even on tires bought elsewhere.
Cooper Robinson
>jealous that his tires weren't thrown out of an airplane >then mounted directly onto a vehicle and driven away safely
No need to be jealous just because you can't drive your car sideways into knife blades.
Not real ones. Probably knock offs. KO2s are literally invincible, so you're scientifically wrong.
Justin King
You stupid motherfucker
Liam Butler
Unless TCI is delivering fake BFG and Michelins to us, I doubt it.
Jaxson Gutierrez
>2018 >Not keeping an entire set of full size spares in the trunk Fuck off.
Jordan Baker
Never trust the kike you idiot. You've been fucking had for Indian knock offs.
IIRC the reviews on Tirerack for that tire all say that the "Suiper stronk" side walls are actually fucking piss weak and they're some of the most failure prone tires for offroading available.
Austin Campbell
An OEM one. That's what they give you instead of a doughnut (although you can buy one) A full size spare won't fit.
Oliver Morgan
IIRC you sound like a jealous fag right now, every ORG thread is full of guys like you crying about KO2s because you run some shit tier tire and can't afford them. They're expensive but they're also an excellent tire. For every negative review you see there's 100 guys who will vouch for them.
Jaxon Barnes
I run 9 year old Destination MT's my dude. Yes I'm 'too poor' for new tires. I want to get a 16" wheel setup because no one fucking makes shit for 15 x 8's with a significant diameter. Looking at dropping $1600 but my car interest goes in cycles, Im itching to get back into my Porsche right now.
Austin Sanders
>drives on 9 year old homicidal tires >talks shit about other tires
kek
Evan Lee
Because the only DOT legal plug for a tire requires disassembly of the wheel.
Isaac Taylor
>Not keeping a spare driveshaft, alternator, power steering pump
Jaxson Ramirez
I said your tires aren't invincible, now all of the sudden you try to flip the set and "gotcha" me by circling how my tires aren't good. I wasn't arranging any sort of tire hierarchy my man. I was just saying your aren't heaven sent. Drinking the kool-aid can be dangerous my man. Where u @ Irl mate? I need someone off road with to winch me out of a ditch when my dry rotted tires give.
Daniel Jackson
You guys don't keep a mini air pump in your car? So what if they spare is flat, I fill it up. I could just fill up the leaky tire too.
Ryder Turner
Convert your a/c compressor into an air compressor by running an oil fogger on the inlet and having a pressure cut off switch inline with your cars factory controls. It helps to have a small tank, but it's not needed.
Jose Foster
No one is winching you out of the ditch you miserable faggot.
Leo White
i just make sure my doughnut is inflated and of the OEM size to the car. Its not fucking science.
Josiah Scott
I don't have any friends tho. Please be my friend.
Brody Ortiz
Not until you admit that KO2s are the greatest tires ever made and nothing will ever surpass them in quality and performance.
Grayson Nguyen
I can't just lie tho, I don't have enough experience with enough tires to say that with out it being a stretch of my experience. Also I don't even know if we live close enough to dock yet or not.
David Reyes
If you can't handle me at my worst you don't deserve me at my best.
David Parker
usually if im retarded/unlucky enough to drive over a fucking nail again (fucking industrial backroads), the tire will go flat overnight, not instantly. No way in hell am I going to attempt plugging a fucking tire in the middle of nowhere, never mind in the middle of winter.
Jacob Peterson
% of the time your spare is flat
Not on MY trucks motherfucker! However I agree on plugs. If I'm towing a trailer or going long distance I add a CO2 cylinder for emergency tire fills. I use a 200 psi fixed pressure regulator (so I can run impact guns) on the cylinder and a brass pneumatic chuck.
Aiden Reyes
It's 2017 BTW. A cordless impact and a compressor powered by your engine is better for use near your vehicle.
Parker Peterson
Full size spare and AAA card.
>Only God's will or total motor failure can stop me from getting to my destinations.
Jordan Cruz
I keep a full set of full-size spares in the bed of my truck, both as backweight (when the roads are icy) and for when I eventually hit a nail or burn my tires up. Never buy new tires, folks.
Luis White
What kinda pick em up turk?
Leo Wilson
This used to be me but my last shitbox was totalled and now I have no doughnut or spare because of horrid runflats.
Benjamin Morales
That.
Jonathan Thomas
3inch deck screws dont give a fuck about your tires
Angel Moore
>90% of the time your spare is flat or more unsafe then driving with no tire at all on highways
wat. Try taking care of your motor vehicle for once?
Julian Reed
Because I have a spare. Also, if I get a flat on my commute it's mandatory to call 112 and stay in the car, due to there being no shoulder. So I'm not even allowed to change the tyre.
Angel Reed
I drove on a self-tapping metal screw with my old KO's (not even KO2s) so long that it wore the head completely smooth and buried it in the tread. I didn't find it until the tires wore out at 120,000km.
Stay bitter.
Jackson Moore
Jellybean F150
Kevin Gomez
I check pressure and only use Michelin tires. Never had a flat once in my life
Joshua Miller
>An OEM one. >A full size spare won't fit. This, two of my cars came with tire repair kits instead of spares because there's not enough room.
Aaron Rogers
My spare tire is brand new, and I check it as part of my regular maintenance schedule. Also, the roads aren't full of screws and nails because this isn't the USA.
Luis Baker
I have a full size spare in my nigger barge and my focus. I also have AAA, towing thru geico, and ford towing for the focus. Even fords sub par quality cant stop me!
Ethan Reed
What do you do when you're on the interstate and don't have cell service?
Xavier Phillips
That's some american thing?
Juan Bailey
I have a little tire inflator with me so in case the tire is low, I can re inflated until I get to a tyres shop. Normally a screw shouldn't be a problem in the short run with that.
Nathan Cook
because i have a full size spare instead. dumb ass
Liam Cooper
change the fucking tyre?
Daniel Lee
You put the new tire on. Are you a girl?
Parker Robinson
Just stop.
Joshua Nguyen
Did you light that plug? I don't think you did. Also, can't plug a sidewall blowout. I carry a product called ride on with me for when I get punctures and need to limp home.
