Where do you buy your passenger car tire patch plugs?

Blake Snyder posted for all of us...

Are you the same guy who wanted the thread on valve stems? How to fix bead breakers? Other nym shifting stuff?

[Ed Pawlowski]

Good. It was nice of you do come down here and we do admire you but yes, we do not deserve you.

Stormin Norman seems to have disappeared so you did make a good substitute.

[Ed Pawlowski]

Many of us here do oil changes, spark plugs, etc.

Ignorant comment. See above.

I did plug a tire back in the 1960s. Have not since though. Ever see one plugged with rubber bands? Could be done with older tires.

1. Do not use without mounting to floor. Mount only to a secure, level surface able to support weight of Manual Tire Changer and tire assembly.
2. Verify that mounting surface has no hidden utility lines before drilling or driving screws.

And I've done tire dismounting, so I know how they come off, it's obvious that if the tire changer isn't bolted down, the whole damn thing is going to move while you try to get the tire off the rim. You really should stop while you're behind.

Next!

Yes, I miss the general, where is he? Last time he was here, he said he was putting up a new steel building. Hope it didn't fall on his alleged 90+ year old head.

Look at this before you continue to make an utter fool of yourself.

Here's a guy doing the job in pajamas on a makeshift pallet:

I have done *plenty* of tires before I decided to drill the holes to sink the female inserts to bolt the tire mounter down, and you do *not* have to bolt the mounter into the garage floor. Period.

You can stake it into the ground. You can screw it into a board. You can screw it into a pallet. etc.

How long would it take *you* to screw the tire mounting tool into a pallet? Took me about five minutes.

I realize that's too difficult a task for you, but *everything* you have written has been so *dead wrong* as to be ridiculous.

All you do is make a fool of yourself. It's like you don't like cleaning toilet bowls, so you try to tell us that your shit doesn't stink.

All your arguments only work on fools. I'm done with the bunch of you.

You're all utter fools (except maybe one or two of you who can *think*).

Not one statement from you in this entire thread was correct. Not one. Be real. It's OK if you don't like the job. But you should stop lying to yourself.

Tell *yourself* the truth, for once. There's no need to bolt it into the driveway or sidewalk or garage floor.

Here are references, but you won't believe facts so it doesn't matter.

I'm totally out of here becuase all you guys *can* do is troll nonsense that is so easily proven wrong that it's a waste of time to even *respond* to your utter lies about how *you* don't want to do a job that is so simple, it's perhaps the most basic of all car repairs.

a lot of "drivel" snipped.

Try seating a new tire that's been stacked for a few months on a wide-ish rim without a "speed inflator" You can bounce till you are silly, and jiggle 'till you giggle, and it will NOT go on. Particularly without removing the schrader valve. Being able to blast air in between the rim and the tire bead is almost a requirement. On a bias tire, wrapping a rope around the middle of the tire and twisting would spread the beads, but on a steel belted radial it can often be futile.

And if you want to mout my 225-70 tires on my 8" wide rims you'll be sweating and turning the air blue - which is why I won't even try without proper equipment - and why I paid to have mine mounted.

And you are being an ass.

And you are an idiot if you leave your steel tools lying around outside - particularly with the weather we have around here.

And all you want to do IS argue. So enough already.

You are back in the bib buddy.

Just plonk the troll, Ed.

\ Between Trader and Blake, no wonder you are confused

I see, so you finally followed the simple directions in the instructions and bolted the tire changer to the floor. Funny you did that, if there was no need to do it. I guess pajamas and a pallet didn't work so well after all?

I don't have a pallet and you can add that to your list of things to store. I suppose you'll tell us that a pallet is like a leaf blower, just one of those things people typically have around. I've changed tires on a floor mounted machine, I can imagine how well it must work trying to do it on a pallet.

I told you it had to be bolted down. The instructions say so too. You do listen to safety instructions, right? You claim to listen to tire manufacturers and tire shops, so why not listen to the folks in China who built that HF tire changer? Oh, wait, you just told us that you did finally drill holes in the floor to mount it. And I'm the one who's been wrong? ROFL

Me too. I'm getting in my pajamas to go look for a pallet so I can buy me one of those tire changer things.
