Every December, the internet fills with gift guides that highlight polished products that look great on a screen but rarely see real trail time. Dave Timm at Gear and Tread does things differently. His holiday gift guide focuses on the gear he actually uses in his SxS, his shop, and on the trail, and the video is full of real footage of him putting each item to work.
So when Dave included GlueTread in this year’s lineup at the 6 minute mark, we were grateful to be part of the mix. He described our Tire Repair Kit as “worth its weight in gold,” which is high praise coming from someone who rides often and has repaired more than a few trail mishaps in real conditions.
Why Riders Trust a Reliable Tire Repair Kit
Anyone who spends time on ATV, UTV, or SxS trails knows how unpredictable terrain can be. A sharp rock or hidden rut can slice a sidewall without warning, and a damaged tire can leave you stranded miles from camp. That is exactly why many riders keep a dependable Tire Repair Kit tucked away in their machine.
In his video, Dave zeroes in on the kind of trail damage riders face more often than they would like to admit. Quick bonding, easy setup, and the ability to get a damaged tire moving again are the reasons GlueTread kits have become a standard piece of trail gear. A Tire Patch Kit may not be the flashiest piece of equipment, but it is often the one that saves the ride.
GlueTread in Good Company
Dave’s 28 minute guide features the gear he trusts most, including Cardo Systems, Rocky Talkie, Yankum Ropes, Diode Dynamics, Mac’s Tie Downs, Tekton, and 5.11. Being included alongside brands known for quality and durability is something we do not take lightly.
The best compliment is simply that GlueTread sits in the same category Dave calls “gear that lives in my SxS,” which is exactly where we want our kits to be used: in real vehicles, on real trails, by riders who prepare for anything.
A Practical Gift for Any Off-Road Rider
A Tire Repair Kit is the kind of gift riders do not always think to buy for themselves, but always appreciate when they need it. It is small, practical, easy to store, and designed to keep a day on the trail from coming to a sudden stop. For riders who already have the radios, the recovery ropes, and the tools, a reliable Tire Patch Kit fills an important gap.
Whether you are shopping for a friend, a family member, or looking to update your own trail setup, a kit like this makes a simple but meaningful difference.
