Very nicely explained. Keep it up
Great job. Thank you very much. Plugs work just fine.
Shouldn't you check (and adjust) the tire pressure after it's back on the wheel and the weight of the car is on it?
a 12 V compressor in your car and manometer. Repair kit with plug and liquid soap. A carpet+coverall
I never removed a wheel or change a wheel for a flat. I have 1-2 flat a year.
Identify the hole, fill air if needed. move the car to be confortable to install the plug.
remove the object on the tire, and remove the air. More easy to install the plug with a small amount of air.
I used the reamer in and out only 1 time, install the plug and cut the excess… no cement or something like that.
5-10 min max to fix it.

It’s 2021-04-25, and 3.7k people DISLIKE knowing how to perform a roadside tire repair… 🧐
Next time I see someone on the side of the road with a flat, just looking out at traffic with a blank stare, I’ll be sure to just yell out the window, “Hey, watch ChrisFix‼️” 👍🏻
Oh, by the way… America’s Tire Company does free tire repairs. Call before visiting to verify.
did you p[ut the block on the wrong side of the rear tire?
I don't know why I love cars. May be I love driving. 😀
Have an air compresser, did not think to carry it in car..!
Chris, you are awesome!! You deserve a presidential medal!! I am so glad I came to check your opinion in this, flat tire subject!! just now, April 22, 2021, I found a flat rear tire and it looks like a piece of metal. Following your instructions, I might keep the can for emergency and use the spare tire after I check its psi in it. Many thanks again. You exude enthusiasm and knowledge in every detailed piece of information you transmite to us! Please, keep healthy so you can continue helping all of us because we do need you. I do not even mind watching advertisements during your videos!! Believe me! Regards from 34205
I bet when he goes to the store he's like: THIS IS THE DAY IM GOING TO GET A FLAT TIRE, THIS IS THE DAYY
Your wooden block should be behind the rear tire. You're raising the front end so the car wants to roll backwards, not forward.
I've heard it before. Don't patch or plug a hole in the sidewall or corner of a tire. I've plugged both sidewalls and the edge, and never had a problem. Never leaked again.

Good instruction Kris! In 50 years of driving, I've very rarely had a tire slit, sidewall punctures or leaking at the rims. 98 percent of punctures are in the tire face caused by nails and screws. Using a tire plug kit with "gooey worms" is a great investment that will save you a fortune over time by doing the repair yourself. Convenience is also top on my list, because a repair can be completed in about 15 minutes. Note: You usually discover the flat in the morning, on your driveway after the vehicle has been siting over night. I never use the contact cement, since it doesn't seem to improve the repair and it makes a mess of your plug tools. After your cut off the worm nub with side cutters, light the remaining nub on fire and let it burn like a candle for a minute or so to level it to the tread and complete the seal.
I had a slow leak always the same wheel, even after a tyre change. I finally used an aerosol which cured the problem and it lasted until I needed new tyres. My current car had a screw in it after just a few weeks from new. Fixed that with a spray and again lasted until tyres were replaced.
One more comment – the kind of pump you used usually has a limit on how long it can be used continuously.
Do you still have those wheels?
Don’t cut the end off the plug …it last longer ….drive on it!!!!
Can you show us how to take the tire off the rim and patch the inside of the tire?
Haters are the stupidest people ever infact they are bitchs
Okay?
