7. Will the repair plug(s) make my tire unbalanced?

No, repair plugs will not unbalance your tire. Testing has proven that a repair plug is equivalent to a small pebble lodged in your tire.

8. What is the white pipe cleaner in the Dynaplug® tire repair kits used for?

If the insertion tube becomes clogged, clean with a Dynaplug® tube cleaner dipped in denatured alcohol, available at your local paint or hardware store. NEVER USE SOLVENTS on the tool.

Loose plugs and the tube cleaner store conveniently in the handle of the Dynaplug®. The tool with supplies is small enough to carry anywhere.

10. Do I need to ream the puncture?

No. The Dynaplug® does not require reaming. Never stretch the hole excessively and never enlarge the hole with a rasp type reamer to accommodate a larger plug.

11. Do you sell different plug sizes?

We only provide one size plug. Because the size of the puncture may vary, it is safe to use up to four plugs for larger holes for emergency repairs only.

12. Do you have any air compressors or Co2 canisters to inflate the tire?

Yes we sell an air compressor and CO2 canisters.

13. Does the tire require air pressure before plugging?

We recommend a minimum of 10 PSI to ensure an easy insertion of the Dynaplug® tool into the tire. It’s better to have your Dynaplug® pre-loaded with a plug and ready to use before removing the nail. This will insure minimal air loss.

14. If the tire is completely flat, can it be repaired?

Yes. However, it’s easier to remove the puncture object and locate the puncture hole when the tire contains air.

15. Does the Dynaplug® repair Run-flat tires?

Dynaplug is fine to use on run flat tires. In fact, it is one of the only solutions that will maintain the air
pressure sensors that usually accompany run flat tires.

16. Does the Dynaplug® work on “Z” rated run-flat tires?

The Dynaplug® actually works best on "Z" rated run flat tires as the rubber is formulated to be softer, i.e. lower durometer, for better traction and performance. The rubber formulation is more tacky and the plugs actually bond even better than lower rated tires.

17. Does the plug affect the Tire Pressure Monitoring System?

The Dynaplug® will not jeopardize your tire pressure monitoring sensors.
