Trailer Tire Repair

Hi All:

 

What is the best way to repair a trailer tire, I ran over a small peice of metal could be a hook or finishing nail. This has give my tire a slow leek, I know where the hole is just wondering the best way to repair it.

 

Also a reminder to all, always have a spare, and check the tire presure on it.

 

Thanks

Take it to a tire shop & have the pros fix it. Around here a tire repair is about $20. Have them mark the valve stem location and reinstall in the same location so balancing is not required. Another option is to have them remove the object & insert a tube.

 

Good Luck: Rick

I've used the tire plug repair kits and work well, about $15 from princess auto and comes with the tools and 8 or 10 plugs.

 

 

I carry on of these in my truck at all times with an air pump that plugs into the cig lighter. Just follow the directions that come with the kit and you're good to go!!!

 

Inflate your tire and use some dish soap mixed with water in a spray bottle to find the leak/object, remove the object and plug the hole.

 

Keep an eye on the tire to make sure the plug is holding.
