Plastic Tire Plugs from "Victor"

[JohnTrigger]

I bought these red plastic tire plugs from Victor yesterday to throw in the CMax "just in case". These look very simple and easy to use.

 

I got them at Advance Auto http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_png-assorted-w-pull-victor_10294744-p?searchTerm=victor+22-5-60207-8#fragment-1

 

Searching around the internet for more information, I found them on Amazon too http://www.amazon.com/Victor-22-5-60207-8-Plug-Tire-Repair/dp/B00CRCQFXK/ref=pd_sim_sbs_auto_1/189-8040090-3258724

 

I can't find any reviews, and I have no doubt they are a very temporary solution at best, but I got them nonetheless and plan to use them if necessary to be able to get to the tire repair shop instead of using the Ford supplied "goo" that will ruin the TPMS sensor and cost me much more for a repair.  I also want to be able to temporarily repair the tire without removing it from the vehicle if just a simple puncture.

 

PS:  I also bought the traditional black strings, glue, and tools to repair the tire that way too, "just in case" these plastic things don't work.  I realize none of these solutions are as reliable as a spare, and won't work if it is a major blowout, but I figure better to have at least a few options, and I don't want to lug around a spare in the cargo area.
