Do tyre repairs have a safety mark?
Tyre repairs are governed by British Standard BSAU159f:1990 which divides tyre repairs into two sections; major repair and minor repair. The British Standard also defines the limits to location, size and number of repairs that can be carried out and makes recommendations on the repair material to be used. A tyre repair then, is not as straight forward as you first might think, it is important that a tyre must always be checked thoroughly by a specialist, before it is deemed repairable. A tyre should not be repaired if it shows signs of ageing or deterioration of the rubber, cuts, cracks or run flat damage. Similarly, if the tyre has suffered bead damage, exposed cords or from a poor repair previously and if the tyre has 1.6mm of tread or less then the tyre must not be repaired.
