50 pcs Tubeless Tire Repair Strip Cords Kit Plug Tool Rubber Quick Recovery Tyre Wheel Glue Car Motorcycle Automobile

Towing a van, a nail in a trailer tyre on the highway shoulder means jacking a loaded rig on soft gravel with traffic going past your elbow, just to fit a spare. Threading a cord in through the tread skips that whole sequence. The wheel stays bolted up and the rig stays down on all its wheels.

The sequence the supplier sets out

Mark where the air is escaping and pull the nail or screw out. Ream the hole with the round tool until it is clean and open. Thread a cord roughly halfway through the eye of the insertion tool, push it in leaving 1 to 2 mm standing proud, then draw the tool straight back out so the cord stays behind. Trim the ends with scissors and re-inflate. A further note about checking the cord has passed fully through before filling is garbled in translation, but its point is that a cord seated short can slip.

Fifty cords, and nothing else in the packet

The packing list runs to fifty tyre repair strings and stops there. The product title uses the words kit, plug tool and glue, and not one of those appears in what the supplier says is supplied. Read this as a refill pack: the reamer and insertion tool the procedure above depends on have to come from a kit you already own. The listed material of plastic and natural rubber also sits oddly against a packet of rubber cords.

Key features

• Fifty-cord refill: enough to restock a workshop kit or split across two vehicles and a camper.
• No wheel removal: the cord goes in from outside, so nothing comes off the hub.
• Vehicles named: cars, motorcycles, caravans, trailers and vans.
• Trim to length: excess is cut back level with the tread once seated.

Specifications

• Pack quantity: 50 repair cords, matching the title
• Material: plastic and natural rubber, as listed by the supplier
• Tyre type: tubeless
• Insertion depth guide: leave 1 to 2 mm of cord proud of the tread
• Cord dimensions and shelf life: neither figure exists in the source data

What's in the box

• 50 x tyre repair cords
• Tools are not part of the stated package contents, despite the wording of the title

Treat it as get-you-home, then see a tyre shop

• An externally fitted cord is a temporary fix. It is not a permanent repair and it does not put back the speed or load rating the tyre carried when new.
• Book the tyre in to be demounted and inspected. Only with the casing off the rim can the inner liner be checked, and only a tyre professional can judge whether it is repairable.
• Sidewall and shoulder damage cannot be corded. A tyre damaged there is finished.
• No ceiling on speed, load or distance after a cord repair is published, so do not assume one exists. Reduce speed and check pressures often.
• Keep the reamer and needle away from your body as they break through; they take real force and come out suddenly.

Sensible to carry in a caravan or camper toolbox, where the spare is the hardest thing to get at.
