Book Tyre Repair with FB Performance
We offer tyre puncture repair services at FB Performance. These are designed to extend the lifespan of damaged tyres that are slowly running flat. If your tyres are just punctured, you might not need to replace them. However, a car tyre puncture repair can only take place under specific circumstances.
That means it’s important to get an expert to check over your tyres, so you don’t put yourself, your passengers, your vehicle, or other road users at risk. Thankfully, you can book a tyre check for free at any of our garages.
What type of tyre repair do I need?
Only three types of tyre repairs will result in a safe, long-term fix:
· Patch repair – A piece of rubber is glued to the inside of the tyre. When the vehicle is driven, this vulcanises to the tyre rubber and is heated up by road friction.
· Plug repair – A piece of rubber or leather is coated in rubber glue and inserted into the puncture hole, sealing it. This vulcanises as the tyre heats up when driving.
· Combination repair patch and plug – Combining patch and plug methods, a combination repair is a more reliable and lasting tyre repair method than just a patch or plug.
There are a number of emergency tyre repair methods you can use soon after a puncture takes place, such as tyre string, repair patches, tyre repair kits and puncture sealant kits. But none of these are a long-term solution. You should only use them for tyre puncture repairs by the roadside, so you can get your car to a tyre fitter for a permanent repair.
