The backwards v tread as I've been told I've never personally ran them backwards was to get better traction on smooth surfaces I heard that from someone on RU-vid who has pulling tractors they pull across concrete
I’d say that you did a mighty fine job on fixing the tire for sure and saving thousands of dollars by not having to buy a new tire!! I do no that if you took the tire to any tire repair shop that they wouldn’t even touch the tire and go straight to well you no trying to stick it with out any lube!!! Lol!! I’ve worked at several different tire shops over the years and if I new I could fix a tire with out having any issues I’d definitely repair it but if I had any doubts of any issues that my repair wouldn’t work I wouldn’t do a fix on the tire!! I can honestly say that every tire I fixed I never had one come back because of my patch repair!! I did have a few come back and say that my patch didn’t work and come to find out that they just had ran over another nail and happen to get another hole in their tire!!! Lol!! And of course I’d always have to show them where I had fixed the tire the time before and where the new hole would be!!!
65 Ford here on the RU-vid has a good video on tire repair. He uses 3M rubber weld product. It's like super glue for rubber. Maybe a combination of both techniques for the next patch?.
It looks like your tire repair is holding up pretty well considering the abuse you just put it through. Keep up the great work and the awesome videos Dude 👍✌️🇺🇲
That was actually pretty easy. Except for when the front tire climbed up on that root or branch sticking out of that piece of tree trunk. I cringed when I saw that in editing
Honest question. Do you really think it was worth your time for a $200 tire? I see some generic tires for around $100 you could have gotten since it's just a spare. Maybe I am just lazy but in my humble opinion and inexperience, I think I would have just bought a new one.
Maybe I did a bad job of explaining, but the tire I fixed was not the spare. If the finished repair would have ended up being sketchy, then it might have gotten shifted into being the spare. I am a bit skeptical about easily finding a tire in my size for $200. The ones I am running on the rig are radials. I think I paid about $900 for the whole set nrand new in 2007. I think a single one now is about $450.
Ah ok, yeah I was figuring I was getting the size of tire wrong, my apologies. So yeah on a $450 tire I can definitely see it a valuable time investment. @@misfittoys8883
Next time, try using tire plgs as your filler material , they get nice and gooey with the vulcanizing cement. And they are more flexible than patch material.
@@misfittoys8883 I was wondering if you could make a compound filler from shredded rubber and tire plugs, glue em to a patch and Cook em , if it would remold it into the tire.
