Plug (pasak) then Patch (tapal) on tire?

[k_leos]

if you must use the car, and you fear for your safety using that pasak'd tyre,
replace your pasak'd tyre with your spare tyre.
use your pasak'd tyre as your spare tyre, in the meantime.
you may have that pasak'd tyre patched up with cold patch or other method, at your leisure, if you wish.
or, if you fear for your safety, even if that tyre has already been 'repaired', then just purcha$e a new tyre. hey! it's six years old, if you believe that.

over the years,
i have experienced flat tyre in so many ways.
alambre, pakong bakya, screwdriver shaft (no handle), one peso coin (the tear was so long, tyre folks thought it was dangerous to repair), and even a stationary lamp post's sharp metal base (ripped my tyre to shreds).

while i did once have a pasak repair from a branded establishment (it leaked still!), none of my cold patch repairs have ever failed.
i have tried several shops, from fully-manual lean-to jobs in the nearby province, to fully-powered brand-name establishments in the big city.

good luck, sir.

Does anyone know where to buy this locally?



It's not available at lazada local but overseas and will take more than a week to arrive.

Does anyone have this? It is 468 pesos for 24 pcs or 20 pesos a piece. I can buy it for 100 a piece ok lang or you can give to me if you (anyone) has extra

My extra tire has different width and mags.



This is the tire specs.



Also yesterday I learnt something important.

1. A tire is not like rubber put over metal ring (like wedding ring). Instead fibers in the belt and plies are wound around the rubber. That is. The belt and plies are made of fibers. Without rubber that adhere to them, the fibers can't support themselves. So it's like the rubber, belt and plies support one another.

2. After 6 years or more depending on weathering, the plasticizer in the rubber can degrade causing water to seep in and damage the fibers in the belts and plies. This is how it can degrade.

3. When you have small nail damage and use patch. Not many fibers are destroyed and even if it can rust, only small spot (maybe? imagine your tire in the flood and water seeping inside, but my cousin said he never used patch because ma rust daw inside).

4. I have a CRV made in early 2000 and had half a dozen tire punctures that used patch repair methods and no problems. Early this week, first time to see a stick on or pasag or plug method, and shocked how they made the hole much wider. So you can't patch it with already that big a hole. Instead use mushroom patch.

5. For pasag repair method. If you use the reamer in the kit, there are a few damages in the fibers when the reamer is inserted. So in those pasag or plugs that fails, it is because the damage to the fibers are great that is why it can cause the spot or area to bulge. So maybe suwertehan how the technician do the pasak or stick on or plug in your tire??

5. If I can't find a mushroom patch locally and no one willing to share one. Then pa proper pasag ko with right reamer and used glue in the kit. But can I just let him push the existing string rubber inside the tyre? During driving, can the string rubber accelerate and damage the tire or other unwanted effects? Must it be removed by opening up the rim?

6. Most important. Saan pinaka competent na service center which can do the pasag (stick on or string plug). I called up Car Zone (Bouncy now), Mega motion, etc. in Banawe early this week but they didn't do any vulcanizing or plug/patch repair, that was why I was forced to go to Kamuning and ended up with the service center that put oil inside without any glue.
