flat tire

tube for tubeless tire? nope! it will create more heat specially when you go for a long drive! tubeless tires are not designed to be inserted with tube.

Using an interior does not work with tubeless tires unless you drill a hole in the middle your rims for the valve stem since most modern cars have rims with stem holes on the side.

Actually, pupuwede ang interior for tubeless tires. I've had it done several times before pag may tama na yung goma ko tapos walang budget to buy a new one. Advisable ang interior kung marami nang butas ang gulong, kesa maraming cold patch. Yun nga lang, pag napako, less than 30 seconds, flat agad, unlike pag tubeless, puwede ka pang makauwi ng bahay (provided na hindi naman kalayuan).

AFAIK, yung mga interior lang naman yung pinaplantsa/niluluto. Yung mga tubeless, cold patch na ngayon or yung may ini-insert na parang gel to plug the hole. For bigger holes, meron na yung patch na may ply, para mas matibay (naks, it rhymes!)

kapag marami na ngang butas ang gulong, sa experience ko mas ok na maglagay ng interior. mas matagal pa magbawas ng hangin ang gulong. sa reserbang gulong dapat talagang may interior para parating may hangin ang reserba. kapag wala kasing interior ang reserba nawawalan ng hangin ang gulong.

The tire repair kit i've used for vulcanizing is the insert method (used this for several years already) and it works quite fine. No uneven tire pressure drop or deterioration of the insert. When i saw that my tire had a nail when i was in the Fort, that's what Autotechnika used as well (the line in Bridgestone was long and they could not even accomodate a flat tire inbetween).

I am planning to have the tire vulcanized and a friend of mine told me to look for a shop that "inserts" something instead of yung "niluluto" kasi daw baka lumobo.

Ayaw ko sana bumili ng bagong tires kasi relatively new pa yung tires and I try to follow the 2,4 rule when changing tires kaya parang impractical bumili ng new tire just for it.

Inputs naman mga peeps sa decision to have my tire vulcanized. Ano yung sinasabing wag lutuin and stuff. Also is there a recomended shop na pwedeng dalhin after work. Yaw ko na sana paabutin ng sat e.

Sir tubeless nman ata yung tire mo eh...patusok mo nlang yan....sa shell or sa servitek mo dalin..100 lang per butas sa tire,mas matibay pa yun.

Thanks ... just an update ...
last sat pinalagyan ko nalang ng cold inserts yung tire...
natawa nalang ako dahil sa ang liit lang ng pako pero chumempo pa sya dun sa portion na manipis... ayun sumingaw...
nagpagawa ko sa goodyear servitek along dimasalang...
60 petot per insert ang singil... it was a quick job kaya me konting kwento pa dun sa mga gumawa...

btw sinabihan din ako na marupok na raw yung gulong... tiningnan ko and true enough naman meron nang mga cracks... 3k rin kasi ang gulong kaya di ko na muna pinalitan...

any ideas dun sa "marupok"... kelangan na bang palitan... kasi kung sa kapal lang... tinapat ako ng gumawa dun na tatagal sya... dont know much about dun sa "rupok" kaya napapapaisip tuloy ako kung kelangan palitan (gastos nanaman)

thanks...
