For repairs, see any tyre dealer at once. Never use a plug-only or patch-only repair.

If any tyre has sustained a puncture, have the tyre dismounted and inspected internally by any tyre dealer for possible damage that may have occurred.

Punctures in the tread of passenger tyres which do not exceed 1/4-inch (6mm) in diameter can be repaired by following Rubber Manufacturers’ Association (RMA) recommended repair procedures. A plug by itself or a patch by itself is an unacceptable repair. The repair material used – for example, a “combination patch and plug” repair – must seal the innerliner and fill the injury to be considered a permanent repair. Never use a tube in a tubeless tyre as a substitute for a proper repair.

If the tyre has a puncture in the tread which exceeds 1/4-inch (6mm), any puncture in the sidewall, or if more than one radial cable per casing ply is damaged, the tyre must be replaced.
