Repair

Punctured tires should be removed from the wheel and permanently serviced from the inside using a combination repair plug and vulcanized patch. When servicing a puncture, always follow the manufacturer's instructions for using the service kit.

Punctures in the tread area only are serviceable. Never attempt to service punctures in the tire shoulders or sidewalls. In addition, do not service any tire that has sustained the following damage:
^ Bulges or blisters
^ Ply separation
^ Broken or cracked beads
^ Fabric cracks or cuts
^ Tires worn to the fabric, or if wear indicators are visible
^ Punctures larger than 6.35 mm (1/4 inch) diameter
