Don’t be flogged with string puncture repair is the wrong way. String type of puncture repair is designed to be carried out from the outside of the tyre, meaning the tyre cannot have a complete internal damage inspection. The second problem is that this type of repair relies on the stickiness of the string to hold it in place in the path created by the puncturing object. However, the pressure of the air within the tyre, that will usually be upwards for 32 pounds per square inch will constantly be trying to push the string back out.
At Springmill Tyres puncture repair patch is installed from the inside, therefore allowing a thorough inspection of the tyre’s interior. It also fully re-establishes the tyres air tight properties by sealing over any part of the inner liner that is damaged.
So, if your local garage offers to repair your punctured tyre in “just a few seconds ”,. They almost certainly are not repairing your tyre to the British Standard. The British standard repair is a complex multi step removing wheel from vehicle and rim and repairing the tyre from inside.
