Be sure to check how trained a tire service technician is. In most cases, it is better
to select a service provider and stick with them every time you need any
assistance. You can use the internet to find the best tire shops in your local area.
You can take your car there for regular checkups and ensure that all four tires as
well as the wheels are in mint condition.
Be sure to ask the technician to remove the damaged tire from the rim to inspect
the inside. Trained technicians will know the importance of removing the tire first.
They completely understand that even a small nail or screw can damage the
sidewall, and it is usually not possible to get a clear idea of how severe the
damage is unless the tire has been removed from the rim. Then, they will fill the void
using rubber and use a repair unit to seal the inner liner. If you are not working with
a trained technician, they would push you to have on-the-wheel tire repair done.
Understand that going for string plus and similar repairs is not a good idea and are
only considered a temporary fix. A patch by itself or a plug by itself is not
recommended because it is not going seal the inner liner permanently. Moreover, it
will not fill the void created by the penetrating object – it would allow water to
enter the tire and corrode the steel belts. You can use these plugs as well as
emergency inflators or sealants as temporary solutions though.
