Plug The Flat, Skip The Tow Truck, Be Back On The Road In Under 2 Minutes
Got a nail on your tire on the way to work? Encountered a screw on a remote road with the closest repair shop 40 minutes away? SlipMate™ is a screw-in rubber plug that seals punctures from the outside — no need to remove the tire, no rasping, no glue, no spare tire. Just twist it in, reinflate the tire, and keep moving. Works on cars, trucks, motorcycles, ATVs, tractors, and trailers.
Don’t Waste Half A Day (Or $80) On One Nail
A flat tire on a Saturday usually means either waiting two hours for roadside assistance or limping to a shop and losing your whole morning. Spray-on sealants gunk up your TPMS sensors. Traditional rope plugs need a rasp, a lot of force, and three hands you won’t have on the roadside. Most people end up replacing a tire they actually could have kept.
➤ Screw it in and drive off: The spiral design threads into the puncture like a self-tapping screw — just one hand, one tool, and no tire removal. Back on the road in under 2 minutes.
➤ The plug expands inside the tire: Air pressure presses against the threaded plug, tightening the seal the harder you drive. Rope plugs do the reverse — they loosen with heat.
➤ Heat-proof rubber built for highway speeds: Crafted from the same dense compound used in commercial truck inner plugs. It won’t melt, dry out, or shrink after baking on hot asphalt.
Why The Spiral Design Tops Every Rope Plug Out There
Normal rope plugs just sit limp inside punctures depending entirely on sticky cement to hold them in place. SlipMate™ features a tapered screw shape — its threads grip into the rubber as you twist, and the cone-like tip pushes against the air pressure, not with it. The harder the tire pushes air out, the tighter the plug seals.
No rasping tool. No vulcanizing glue. No waiting five minutes for adhesive to set. Just twist, trim flush with the tread, and go.
Why Rope Plug Users Are Making The Switch
Elias M. hit a roofing nail two hours from home on a Sunday: "I had a rope kit in the truck and couldn’t get the rasp through the hole one-handed. Grabbed SlipMate, twisted it in within 30 seconds, pumped the tire up, and drove 180 miles home. Still holding strong three weeks later." Contractors, delivery drivers, and weekend adventurers keep this kit in their glove box so a nail won't ruin their day.
What You Really Get Back
✓ Your Saturday morning: Avoid the two-hour shop wait and the $40–$80 plug bill. Repair it right where you are.
✓ The rest of your tire’s life: A clean plug fixes the hole so you keep the tire, instead of being talked into a new one for a tiny puncture.
✓ The calm of a glove-box backup: Toss the kit in your center console and forget about it until you really need it.
How To Fix A Flat With SlipMate™ — 3 Steps, No Jack Needed
Step 1: Find the puncture and remove the nail or screw with pliers. Clean the area so the threads can grip dry rubber.
Step 2: Insert the SlipMate™ tip into the hole and twist it in using the included tool until just the head remains visible. The taper does the hard work — no extra force required.
Step 3: Cut the excess plug flush with the tread, inflate the tire to the right PSI, and drive away. Once you’re familiar with it, it takes under 2 minutes.

Common Questions Before Buying
Will it hold up at highway speeds?
Absolutely. The spiral design tightens the seal as air pressure increases, unlike rope plugs that loosen under heat and pressure. Drive it like any tire freshly plugged at a shop.
Do I need to remove the tire?
Nope. SlipMate™ installs from the outside with the tire still mounted. No jack, no spare, no lug wrench required.
What size punctures does it fix?
The small plug covers up to 3mm (most nails and screws). The large is for 3–5mm holes. Both sizes come in the kit.
Will it work for motorcycles and ATVs?
Yes — any tubeless tire. Cars, trucks, motorcycles, scooters, ATVs, UTVs, ride-on mowers, tractors. Tires with tubes need a different fix.
Is this a permanent repair or just to get home?
Treat it like any external plug: it can last the tire's lifetime on tread-area punctures. For sidewall damage or larger holes, have the tire examined professionally.
What if it doesn’t work for me?
Contact us and we’ll fix it. The kit costs less than half the price of a single shop plug — if it gets you home even once, it’s already paid off.
The Kit That Turns Flats Into 2-Minute Fixes
Keep a set of SlipMate™ plugs in every glove compartment you have. When a nail sidelines you on the roadside, you’ll be glad it’s there — and you’ll be back on the road before the tow truck even arrives.
