Yahoo Autos Here's How You Plug a Hole in a $30,000 Mining Bulldozer Tire
Getting a flat tire has never been convenient, but with a little practice, you can have the flat off and the spare on in as little as 10 minutes. Then it's just a matter of heading to your local tire shop for a replacement. Sure, good tires are expensive, but you probably won't ever have to declare bankruptcy after replacing one.
But what if instead of a car, you get a tire puncture on your bulldozer? Those tires are bigger than most cars, and can easily cost $30,000 apiece. At that kind of price, taking care of the problem is a little more complicated than whipping out your Visa at the local Midas.
But we never knew how you'd repair such a large tire. As it turns out, the process is incredibly complicated but also absolutely fascinating.
The video itself is only 14 minutes long, but it looks like it took hours to complete. And considering how much the tire is worth, we don't even want to think about how much the patch cost.
