Driving on the highway I heard a strange noise at the left rear tire so I got out and found a screw lodged in the tire. I repaired the flat without taking off the tire. Fix screw punctures with a tire rubber plug kit.

Good thing there was ample room on the side of the road for me to do the repair. I didn't have to jack up the car. Plugged the hole right then and there. The heavy duty brown rubber strings are stronger and repair better than the black strings. The rubber plug strings are ideal for tubeless tires of cars, motorcycles, ATVs, tractors, lawn mowers, and trucks. Tire maintenance for motor vehicles is based on several factors. The chief reason for tire replacement is friction from moving contact with road surfaces, causing the tread on the outer perimeter of tires to eventually wear away. When the tread depth becomes too shallow, the tire is worn out and should be replaced. The same wheels can usually be used throughout the lifetime of the car. Other problems encountered in tire maintenance include:
This tire has been punctured by a screw. Sometimes a pneumatic tire gets a hole or a leak through which the air inside leaks out resulting in a flat tire, a condition which must be fixed before the car can be driven safely.
