My tire repair kit is just about done. Plug tools are stripped and handle cannot grip the plug anymore.


I will buy a new kit but I’m wondering if anyone used the new tire repair screws before. Do they actually work or is it just a gimmick

Used some of the new repair screws on a UTV last weekend. Had two thorn holes and the tire would go flat in five minutes. Used the screws to repair. It was super easy. I would definitely recommend for tires like that.

This is the first time I've heard of these screws. I might have to give them a try.

Never used anything expressly made for that purpose, but back in the ‘80s we used wood screws often to repair 3-wheeler tires. In fact, I used to keep some in a little pouch on the bike for emergencies. Never tried anything like that on a vehicle with high-pressure tires on it.

I'd just stick with plug kits, never had a problem with them and keep a kit in every vehicle. I only rely on any such repair long enough until I can get it properly patched at the tire shop I usually use.
