Tyre patch

[13177]

Looks like charges might be higher if the tyre shop open after 7pm?! But wonder patching a tyre depends on the size of the tyre or not and charge differently?

we should appreciate these people help us to solve the problem (at least temporary)

why should we concern so much about the cost.

those sticky worm which repair tyre from outside is basically just to cover the punctured hole.

the advantages is fast and cost less.

Disadvantage is we are unable to know is that any secondary injured or demaged intenrally which could lead to sudden tyre failure especially at higher and long distance driving.

And the punctured hole could be enlarged during the process of forcing the hole even bigger or crack (old tyre).

BEST way of repaire a punctured tyre is get it done only internally which allow you to inspect interanally for any demaged which can not be seen from outside

Any puncture on sidewall is NOT repairable and near sidewall or shoulder you got to ask the site opinion.

Always remember tyre only fail when is on working condition especially at high speed liog distance driving

Tyres are the only 4 contacts

Best if can worm from the outside then patch from the inside. Confirm plus chop more safe. But which shop willing to do and at what price.

Major part of the "worm" is inside, how to have internal patch then?

There is a kind of patch that's both internal and external, something in the shape of a thumbtack.

OIC, thanks!

[Pms]

The thumbtack you referring is called mushroom plug. That is unreliable coz the steel belt of the tyre will cut the stem of the plug after a while because the stem doesnt work like a worm and is not the same rubber compound as the worm.

 

You plug the worm from the outside, from the inside trim the worm and patch over worm.

The size of yr tire does not affect e type of worm patch or labour n sud not affect e price of e repair.

 

Unless yrs lorry. Then more ex.

[Pisces69]

Still $6 along woodland road near yiew teh

 

 

Most shops charge $5-6.

 

Anything more is shop trying to take advantage of motorist in a desperate situation.

Yes internal patch is best especially fr high speed n long distance driving if done properly.
