Step One

We locate and mark the injury, removing any foreign object still puncturing the tyre. Then we remove the tyre from the wheel and have a tyre expert thoroughly inspect it both internally and externally. 

Step Two

We then prepare the puncture channel from the inside of the tyre using a 6mm carbide mill cutter. We repeat the process, now from the outside of the tyre inwards, ensuring once finished the channel feels resistance free on the mill cutter.

Step Three

Once done we clean the area using a specific pre-buff cleaner and repair scraper. Making sure to remove all residues such mould releasing agents. We then buff the inner liner and make sure that any raised ribs are left flat after buffing.

Step Four

We then apply a specialist vulcanising accelerator solution to the puncture channel and buffed area. Insert the combination tyre repair patch and plug (required by law) into the puncture channel.

We then pull the combination tyre repair patch and plug outwards until the entire patch is flush with the inside of the tyre.

Step Five

We then roll the reverse of the patch using a corrugated tyre stitcher. We roll from the centre of the patch outwards to remove any air bubbles, making sure the entire patch has solid contact with the buffed inner liner. Then we seal the combination tyre repair patch and plug base and buffed area still exposed with an inner liner sealant.

Step Six

We cut the stem of the combination tyre repair patch and plug flush with the remaining tread of the tyre, after first mounting the tyre back onto the wheel and re inflating to the correct pressure.
The tyre is then pressure tested.

Then finally we balance it again which is crucial as the tyre has been removed.
