That depends. If you are a motorcyclist or ATV rider, Company would recommend the #1000 or #1001 Pocket Tire Pluggers. If you are not restricted by limited storage space the Standard Model #1075 may be the better choice. The Tire Plugger and Pocket Tire Plugger are equally easy to use. Size and cost should be your determining factors.
Both the Standard Model and the Pocket Tire Plugger come with mushroom plugs that measure 5/16" diameter x 3/4" length shaft. Company now have a bag available with (50) 5/16” diameter shaft x 1 inch length shaft that can be installed in the Pocket Tire Plugger and newly purchased Standard Model Tire Pluggers. It is Item No. 5075
That may be a matter of preference. Company own test results have proven that mushroom tire plugs do a better job of sealing the puncture on the inner wall of most tires. However, punctures larger than 1/4 inch would require one or more string tire plugs.
Yes, as an emergency repair. They are not considered a permanent repair when installed in street (high speed) tires. They can be considered permanent in off-road (slow speed) tires such as golf cars, mowers, etc. F.Y.I. – How long Company mushroom tire plugs will work in steel belted tires will depend on the proximity to the belts and the quality of installation.
Safety experts all agree that a punctured and/or plugged motorcycle tire should be replaced as soon as possible. That is Company opinion also.
No. The Stop & Go tire inflation adapter threads onto your tire valve and the CO2 canister. It is a fully flexible 3” inch vinyl tube with nickel plated brass fittings on both ends. It is very lightweight, takes up very little space and does the same job as those monster adapters that are more costly and bulky. The non-threaded CO2’s are usually 12 grams discharging only 6 lbs. of pressure. The Stop & Go CO2’s are 16 grams discharging 9 lbs. of pressure each. So there is no reason to invest in a regulating valve adapter.
Because they would require one of those bulky regulators and the cost would make Company kits too expensive.
