Tyre Patch Repair
A tyre patch repair seals a puncture from inside the tyre, after removing it from the wheel, for a durable repair.
What is Tyre Patch Repair?
A combined plug-patch both fills the hole and seals the inner liner. Only punctures in the central tread area can be repaired. The tyre must be checked inside for hidden damage. Many standards also limit the size of repairable holes.
How it works
The inner surface is cleaned and buffed, then a patch is vulcanised or bonded over the hole.
Why it matters for your car
Sidewall and shoulder damage cannot be repaired safely. A tyre driven flat may be damaged inside and need replacing.
