Tyre repair screws reviewed. 

I've just superglued screws in the past and like you say. It's good enough until replacement time. But these seem able to be removed and professionally fixed. Bit like all these. They're not designed as a permanent fix.

It doesn't show well in the video but there is a glue around the screw which I believe acts as the sealant. The tyre I fitted these too is still holding air after about 6 months. Their advantage over the emergency cans are no mess for the tyre yard and a good chance a permanent repair could be made later. Once that spray stuff if used the tyre is scrap.

@@channelone4655 Thank you!

Thanks for taking the time to comment. As an additional I can say the tyre these were fitted to is still holding air. So they definitely work. 👍

I appreciate any comments but let's put some things into context. Most punctures are from screws and nails. I used a drill, with bits larger than the majority of screw/nail diameters to mimic a puncture. So I grant you, unless you get a puncture caused by a Makita cordless drill with a 6mm hss bit held at 90 degrees to a 185/65 x 15 Bridgestone tyre that wasn't even fitted to car then yes, my test isn't indicative of the puncture you will most likely get. But, the test did prove a cheap simple glued up grub screw can effectively plug a sizable hole in a tyre in an emergency and be an easier fix for a tyre shop than the emergency foam fillers most people have. Unless you believe I needed to test EVERY type of puncture possibility in EVERY type of tyre for this test to give valid results. 🤷‍♂️

I've just had a puncture, tried the sticky orange things , it shot out of the tyre like a bullet when I inflated it ☹😅😅, after all that effort 🤣🤣, might try the screws the next time , cheers 🍻

Other than super glue, which works surprisingly well, the emergency foam, which works but scraps the tyre, and these screws, which 10 months after testing are still holding 26psi, I've not tried anything else. Long term I'd trust nothing but a permanent tyre shop repair as that seals the inside of tyre. While I do now carry these screws with me, I also have the foam because if anything life has taught me it's you're given problems when you have the least time to solve them.

Hi , thanks for your reply , just didn't want to take my puncture to the repair shop as the wheels have just been refurbished a brilliant white and didn't want them scraped as they struggle to put on and remove tyres due to them being very low profiles , I will give these screws a go , thank you 😊

I can't read what you wrote, but we all love a hug ❤
