Anyone repaired their tubeless tires using mushroom patch instead of the usual plug?
| On one occasion the typical tubeless repair patch inserted from outside came off from the tire and the tire went flat suddenly. Fortunately I was driving the car (Laura) in the city so the speeds were fairly moderate so nothing happened. Now one of the run-flat tires on our BMW is having a slow leak, plan to get it repaired. The obvious choice is to get it plugged like I have been doing in the past. There are recommendations to do "mushroom plug" or "plugpatch" repair which actually requires taking the tire off the rim and patching+plugging from inside the tire. Has any one tried it? Any good tires shops in Bangalore that can do this without damaging the alloy ;-) Or I should not worry so much? After all, even if the plug comes off the car should be stable given that it is a run-flat tire. Here is a video (looks like lot of hardwork!): plugpatch - YouTube |
