Heavy Duty Tire Plug Kit

I buy plugs at Northern Tools. Good kit from them also. Drive hunting truck to ranch in Mexico with load range E All Terrain Goodrich tires. Lots of mesquite, thorns, and sticks. If a puncture the plugs are badass. If a rock puncture it is iffy. Put 3 plugs in once in the shoulder transition and made it back home. Had a decent leak that required me to top up about once an hour. I always have a 12V compressor.

Not sure what a heavy duty plug would be like or if they are any different from any quality plug. Interested to see what people recommend in this thread.

Im going on 60,000 miles on some Slime plugs. A tip I have is if you are carrying a drill with you, drill out smaller punctures to a larger diameter. Sometimes the reamer tool doesnt do a good enough job and Ive had some of the plugs not catch and take properly in small holes. Feels weird to drill a tire but I do it all the time now.

This is what I carry too, just plugged a tire yesterday with it. The hole was so small and at a bad angle, I had to use a hammer to get the reamer tool in.

I saw some "heavy-duty" kits on amazon, just wondered if anyone had a different kit.

This ol baw has the best I’ve seen.

Never let me down

Different sizes for different ties iirc

I’ve seen them hold on a race track too. Don’t recommend this but they won’t fail at high speed+temp.

Use the Blackjack kit on the farm. Has nice heavy tools in it.

I second the Safety Seal kit. I have put hundreds of plugs in truck, car, and trailer tires over the last 20 years with the same kit. They sell refill kits too.
