GlueTread External Patch Kit - for Tubeless Tires - No Need to Remove Tire - Kit Includes Enough Material to Patch 4 Tires - ATV Sidewall Repair Kit

Honestly the patch was easy to install, and the tire is holding air. Granted I am being hit up by Amazon to rate the transaction the day after I received it, so I have no long-term experience with this product.The instructions are easy to comprehend and follow. Everything in the kit functions as it is supposed to, as in the sandpaper actually works and doesn't fall apart when you use it to scuff the tire. The glue and applicator tips work as intended. I think it took me about 15 minutes in total to make my repair and I took my time and read the instructions, prepped the area, glued the slash, prepped area for actual patch, applied glue to TIRE, and then applied the patch holding it for 30 seconds to ensure bond. It stated to wait an hour before filling, but I waited overnight since I wasn't in a rush. I have no doubts that the repair would be solid in 1 hour, heck it would probably be ready in 15 minutes. I inflated my tire and checked for leakage around the slash repair, and no leaks were found. It was a positive experience. It is a simple product with a straightforward process that I feel didn't require any special skills or tools besides an air compressor. You get 4 patches in the kit I purchased, and I feel like I got a good value with this kit.

This is the real deal, and as long as you follow the instructions, do the prep work, and use less glue (NOT MORE) it works flawlessly, and holds air for 3 consecutive days, without any leakage!!! Will buy more, and for other applications. This company truly has this concept right... Clearly tried, trued, and tested multiple times.

Discovered a long gash in the sidewall of our SUV. As I went to put the spare on, I discovered that we had no spare. With the hopes of avoiding a tow to the tire shop I purchased this. The patch held long enough to get us to the tire shop. Probably gonna keep one of these in my car from now on for emergencies.My only gripe is how expensive this product is. It’s literally one tube of super glue, an applicator, 4 little rubber patches, and some sandpaper. All in all, maybe $5 worth of stuff. I could see charging $10 or even $15, but $25 is way overpriced. But again, it was cheaper than a tow truck, so I can’t complain too much.

Works exactly as it says. Potholes blew out the side wall of a brand new $400 tire that hasn’t seen 100 miles and I don’t ever buy the warranty with the tires. That being said these patches are Lifesavers. I’ve now gone over 1000 miles and had no issue whatsoever. Would highly recommend.

I had a clean slice in the sidewall of my zero-turn's tire. Followed the directions of the item exactly:Deflate tire. Clean area with soap and water. Sand the area to make sure the rubber is clean of any contamination and increase surface area for glue. Apply glue to the inside edges of the slice, and then press flat. Lay a patch over the area and trace with a marker. Inside the traced area, apply small dots of glue in a grid pattern. (More glue is not more better! Use less!) Apply the patch and hold firmly in place at least a minute. Walk away for an hour and re-inflate the tire.I still heard a hissing sound.Directions say if that didn't fix the leak, pry up the edge of the patch with a pair of pliers where you see the leak, and apply a touch more glue. Apply pressure again for another minute. Walk away for a half hour, and try inflating again. I re-inflate again.And still have a hissing sound.I tried inflating again just to gauge the air loss. Two pounds in an hour. While sitting completely still on my driveway. Could this patch let me keep using the tire and keep mowing? Sure. Do I feel like stopping every so often to top it off as I mow 11 acres? Absolutely not.

The GlueTread External Patch Kit is a game-changer for tubeless tire repairs! 🛞 I used it on a small puncture in my off-road tire, and it worked perfectly. The patch was easy to apply and really sticks, providing a durable and reliable seal 💪. The kit comes with everything you need to fix a flat quickly, and I love how it’s compact and easy to store for emergencies ⛑️. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to keep their tubeless tires in top shape without needing a professional 🛠️. Highly recommend this kit for quick, reliable tire repairs! 🌟

Update: 28 Apr. So for a month sitting on the trailer, the tire was fine, no change in the tire air pressure. After the first time driving on it (on pavement for a fundraiser), the next day loss air pressure. Aired it up and sprayed water on it, sure enough its leaking all around the patch. Because I did everything the way the instructions said (as you can see from my pictures), I definitely don't think this is a user error. I think it's just made to get you out of the woods, but definately not made to be an alternate for a tire replacement or for longevity. I still end up having to buy a tire.Original rating post:Had a mishap at RayRocks in Rayville, MO, but luckily it was at the end of our day anyways. Underwater rock sliced the sidewall, so we gimped back and loaded it up. Once home I looked for viable options rather than buying new tires and ran across this product. ** NOTE** I did this application with my SxS still on the trailer, without removing the wheel. You can see the damage before starting, during the process and the after look. I had to cut part of the side tread in order to get a flat mounting surface. I used a pneumatic 1/4 in. Angle Die Grinder with disc to level the whole area (so much easier than doing it by hand). Followed the directions and traced around the patch to get my glue area, applied glue in the grid dot pattern (as best I could). Applied the patch, holding it in place for about a minute (directions said only 30 sec). After an hour I put air in it and tested, No Leaks. Aired the tire to 25 PSI to test for overnight leak or loss of PSI. Waited over 24 hrs and checked with gauge, same PSI. $25 patch kit vs $200 new tire. Winner, winner, chicken dinner. Came with four patches and extra glue tips, so those are going into my SxS tool kit for next time.
