Xtra Seal Tire Repair Plug
Xtra Seal Tire Repair Plugs: Professional Trust in Every Puncture Fix
When a nail or road debris puts a hole in an otherwise healthy tire, a quality plug repair can mean the difference between a permanent fix and a recurring headache. Xtra Seal has built a strong reputation in the professional tire service industry by manufacturing plug solutions that technicians and shop owners rely on day in and day out. Their tire repair plugs reflect the same commitment to consistency and durability that has made the brand a staple in automotive and heavy-duty service environments worldwide.
String-Type Plug Inserts Built for Real-World Demands
At the heart of Xtra Seal's tire plug lineup is their string-type repair insert series. The Xtra Seal 12-361 Fat Brown 4" Universal String-Type Tire Repair Plug Inserts are a standout product — made of butyl rubber, these inserts are engineered to be very strong, allowing easy insertion through steel-belted radials. They are equally at home repairing lawn tractor, golf cart, ATV, and other off-road tires , making them one of the most versatile plug options in the category.
Xtra Seal plug strings feature plies of a custom-made, high-tensile, chemical-resistant yarn and are immersed in a sealant for increased repair longevity — and their kits cover everything from small passenger tires to large heavy equipment tires. Superior metal tools included in kit offerings ensure accurate and proper string insertion, a detail that separates a professional repair from a temporary patch-up.
Engineered for Precision Insertion
Xtra Seal also addresses one of the most overlooked aspects of plug repair: the installation process itself. The XTRA SEAL X12350 Tire Repair Lubricant is designed specifically for string-type plug installations — a 3 oz gel-based formula that reduces friction between the plug, insertion tool, and tire liner. The lubricating gel creates a protective barrier that prevents the insertion tool from scraping or tearing the tire's inner liner during plug installation, while also eliminating friction so the string plug seats exactly where needed on the first attempt.
The lubricant is compatible with all string-type tire plug systems including standard brown plugs, self-vulcanizing plugs, and combination repair strings, and works seamlessly with any brand of plug insertion tool, whether T-handle tools, spiral tools, or needle-eye inserters. It works on any tire that accepts string plug repairs, including motorcycles, ATVs, lawn equipment, trailers, and all passenger vehicles — and remains effective on heavy-duty truck and commercial vehicle tires.
