🎙️ **Glue Tread Returns: The Ultimate Off-Road Tire Repair Solution!** | Jeep Talk Show Interview with Andy Back by popular demand! Andy from Glue Tread joins us again to dive deep into their game-changing tire repair kits. From sidewall damage fixes that get you off the trail without replacing expensive tires, to tread plugs, upgraded Colby Valve stems, and heavy-duty T-handles — this is the closest thing to a spare tire in a bag. In this episode: - Andy's journey from Northeast Ohio rubber factories to guiding in Yellowstone & building the business with his dad - How Glue Tread's tool-less sidewall repair patches work (and the off-road only disclaimer) - Common mistakes (too much glue, bad prep, overheating rubber with grinders) and pro tips - Real stories from Easter Jeep Safari, King of the Hammers, and trail rescues - US-made quality, patents, fighting copycats, and why customer service matters - New snowmobile paddle repair kit + upcoming off-road products - Family business insights, manufacturing in America, and what it's really like running a growing off-road company Whether you're running 37s, 40s, or bigger, this kit could save your trip (and your wallet)!
