Repair Kit Now Available for Run Flat Systems

posted on 19 September 2008

Increasingly, more and more vehicles are fitted with run-flat variants of standard equipment, creating a problem in repairing minor injuries. With no repair kits available in the past, this has lead to tyres being replaced.

However, Rema Tip Top UK have sought to change this and, responding to market changes, have introduced Tip Top Run Flat repair kit for the successful repair of minor tread injuries to run-flat systems.

Following extensive testing at the German certification body, the durability of the repairs to run-flat systems has been confirmed whether the tyre has a reinforced sidewall or a support ring. The repairs permanently fully restore the tyres properties according to the ECE-R30 standard when tyre and vehicle manufacturer guidelines are observed.

This offers increased savings in cases where vehicles have integrated tyre pressure monitoring systems. Previously, it would have been necessary to replace to tyres at the same time due to the measuring procedure of the tyre pressure monitoring system. Now the injured tyre can be repaired, leading to a massive cost reduction.
