FAQ – Tyre Repair Kits
- Are plug repairs permanent?
- Plugs are typically temporary. A patch-plug from inside is more durable.
- Can I plug a sidewall?
- Not recommended for road use. Sidewall repairs are emergency-only.
- How many plugs should I carry?
- At least 10–20 for off-road trips; multiple plugs may be needed.
- Is CO₂ enough without a compressor?
- No—CO₂ is limited. A compressor is essential for repeated inflation.
- Do I need to remove the tyre to patch?
- Internal patches require tyre removal and proper preparation.
- What size punctures can plugs fix?
- Small tread punctures (e.g., nails). Large holes need professional repair.
