Tire Leak Down Test ... Finding a leak!

Emergency Tire Repair

Emergency repairs should ONLY be performed on the centre of the tread. NOT on the shoulder or the side wall of any tire.

NOTE:

In the video below, the hole is actually on the shoulder of the tire so it should NOT be repaired!!!

Watch the video posted for Station V (Rim off repair) to see what can happen to the inside of a tire if a puncture is made on the shoulder or side wall.
