The reamer part is one of the most important. In my case. Technician didnt use the reamer in the kit. Maybe he lost it. Purpose of reamer is to make hole big enough for string plug to fit. He used screw driver (as shown in my previous picture) to puncture the belt/ply but the rubber part didnt get bigger. That was why he couldnt insert the plug and had to use oil as lubricant. Dapat bumili sila ng reamer.

In case of string repair plug kit. Meron kasama reamer tool sa kit. But in the mushroom patch. Wala kasama reamer so dapat alam ng technician size ng hole. This is the reason experienced dapat ang technician sa mushroom. If 6mm ang stem ng mushroom. Dapat exactly 6mm rin drill bit?

Even if buy ako new tire. Dapat ma repair tama yun tire para sa reserva or in case bili ng tallier and kabit sa iba. Before I bought used tires (oblong na pala, dapat maging illegal old tire shop 'no).

By the way, I read in the subaru manual wag change one tire ng unit only because madamage ang so called drive train ng AWD. Walang AWD car mo?

Sabi ng isang website "Replacing just one or two tires on an AWD vehicle could cause unnecessary wear and tear on your drivetrain, or confuse the traction control system to think that you are frequently losing traction. A new tire is larger in diameter than one of the same brand, type and size that's part way through its tread life.".

So if wala competent mushroom repair dito. Im forced to buy 4 new tyres just because hindi tama yun pasak ginawa sa akin with oil added. Puwede pa dapat 10 yrs tires ko.

Add on ba automatic tire pressure monitoring system mo or built in? Ano best brand and model na add on?
