Good as new, do you have an address in case I have a tyre problem ?

Surely I'm not the only one to remember vulcanised tyre repairs ?

Think of the joy your partner has when you get home every night smelling like you are condom tester

We used to do similar repairs in Australia, , but a lot smaller, and then only on agricultural tyres . In my book that's like driving along with a hand grenade on the dash with the pin about to fall out !!

I was a tyre fitter many years ago & can clearly remember vulcanised tyre repairs.

It was my job as an apprentice to vulcanise tube repairs.
Buff the tube, glue patch on, stick it on the vulcaniser, wind the plate down and wait for the fuse to pop.
Job done.

A couple of things worried me was no toe protector boots, no masks and they never checked the dates on the tyres to see if they should be thrown away. Haha

Very similar to a vulcanize'r I imagine

Agreed, but they think the same way as Indian people.... When your times up its fate and its destined to happen. .
I reckon that's why they drive like they do.

The REALLY bad news would be that you SMELL like a condom-tester, but finding out that she IS a condom tester

I couldn't be a condom tester, I hate the smell of burning rubber.

That video is ridiculous ......... absolute disregard for health and safety, he never even had a yellow vest on

I doubt the technique would work on a condom

Years ago this happened over here, and it was common to recap car tyres using the same method

 

[Oldbob]

Needs must !

 

[barsteward]

As a tyre fitter in my yoof I remember a company called Bandag, they used to not only vulcanise the side wall but also vulcanised a new tread on to the old carcase.
I wonder if they sold the old equipment to Pakistan.

reminds me of what steve from rb motorsport said to a mate of mine when we arrived in our skylines, he noticed the cheaper brand tyres on my mates, calling them ,nankang ditchfinder specials'
