Tire Repair
Many different materials and techniques are available on the market in order to repair tires. Not all of the materials and techniques work on some types of tires. Tire manufacturers have published detailed instructions on how and when to repair tires. Obtain the instructions from the manufacturer. If the vehicle is equipped with a compact spare tire, do not repair the compact spare.

Important: The latex-based GM Tire Sealant Solution contains ethylene glycol and should be disposed of properly.

Certain GM vehicles are not equipped with a spare tire but utilize an inflator kit that uses a liquid sealant. Upon removing the tire from the wheel, if liquid solution is found, the liquid should be extracted from the tire.
After removing the liquid, mark the damaged area and remove the puncturing object. Wipe the wheel and the inside of the tire with a shop towel to remove the remaining residue prior to tire repair.
