Sabi mo nakaloan pa kotse mo? So safe to assume less than 5 years pa goma mo since brand nrw mo binili.

The mvis requirement is the least of your worries. Then again, just replace everything. Pati kotse kung pwede

"New MVIS rules say your tires can't be older than 5 years"

When will LTO implement this? They will ban all tires older than 5 years.

Early this morning I went to the garage to change the tire to reserva because I don't want the rugby string plug to eject out while driving to the tire shop to replace all 4 tires. But I read in the Subaru manual that wheel chocks must be put. I can't find any big wood or bato, so I delayed changing to reserba tire and ordered the following and it's coming about bukas.




Heavy duty. Can even secure an aircraft wheel.

I found out there are many Yokohama service centers. They are selling Yokohama tires made in phils for 6700, and made in Japan for 8700. Some tire shops selling Dunlop LM704 for 8900 and Toyo for 10500. Totoo ba na Toyo tire is matagtag and Dunlop more comfort daw? So while waiting for my heavy duty wheel chocks coming tomorrow. I'd better ask these quick tire brands questions because lahat na 4 ko palit talaga. Kasi AWD car ko. I don't want to regret with the choices.

Anyway. After I realized I made a mistake not aware of the difference between rubber cement and contact cement. I made some research last night at google. I found out not only meron difference ang rubber cement and contact cement. But meron rin big difference ang rubber vulcanizing solution vs rubber cement. The former can bind the rubber at the molecular level so if you use a string plug with this. Parang na binded na talagang ang rubber string to the hole? This will make for successful pasak talaga! So I wrote the following for future reference and in case someday the service head of the Kamuning center can read this so as to inform their workers mali ganawa nila putting rugby in my string repair.

I saw the following Kyoto set in the net.



There is a rubber solution included. That means yun Kronyo string plug used by the technicians don't have built in solution. This is the kamuning shop Kronyo string plugs again:



Then I searched ano ingredients ng Kronyo rubber solution. I saw this.





Then I read the best explanation of the difference between vulcanizing cement solution vs rubber cement. I'd like confirmation that the Kronyo rubber solution or other solutions included with string plugs are the same as vulcanizing solution described in the following (is it?? or is the following only true for patches?? but note the Kronyo rubber solution is used for both their pathces and string plugs). Because if it is the same. Talagang mag work ang Pasak if you use the right solution because it will bind the string plug and tire rubber at the molecular level pa. I regret I didn't learn this before yesterday.

How do vulcanizing tire patches work? : bicycling

"Chemist here - natural rubber is a polymer (long chain-like molecules). Vulcanizing adds cross-links (through disulfide bonds) to the rubber, basically turning the strands of rubber molecules into a net, greatly increasing strength. Bike tubes are vulcanized rubber, but the outer surfaces are treated such that all those cross-linking sulfur groups aren't reaching out and trying to grab anything. You put on some vulcanizing fluid (henceforth "glue") and a few disulfide bonds in the tube get broken and re-formed with bonds to the polymers in the glue. Once the glue dries (there's a bit of solvent that has to evaporate) the inner side of the glue spot is chemically bound to the tire. The outer side is left with a bunch of free sulfur groups waiting to grab onto some other sulfur groups. Then you peel that piece of foil off the orange side of the tire patch (which exposes the free sulfur groups left on the patch) and press it to the glue spot - you've now made millions of chemical bonds between the patch and the glue spot. It's not really glued, though - the patch-"glue"-tire system is now one single molecule all chemically bound together.

The chemical bond holding things together is why:

The tube has to be clean and dry - the sulfur groups reaching out for something to grab onto will grab dirt, water, and other gunk instead of the patch.

You can't use duct tape or regular glue - these are sticky substances that don't vulcanize the rubber together. Rubber cement may hold a patch in place but it is NOT the same stuff.

Glueless patches kinda suck - the vulcanizing fluid in the little tubes works better at making bonds with the punctured bike tube.

You can make patches out of old tubes - at its most basic you're vulcanizing two pieces of rubber together, so two pieces of bike tube will stick to each other."
