How to Patch a Hole in a Tire
A flat or leaking tire can be a huge pain, but fortunately, it's often an easy fix. When we've got a flat tire, it's often because a nail or some other debris from the road has been lodged in the tire. When this is the case, we can use a tire patch kit to quickly and easily repair the tire. Learning how to do this yourself can save you a lot of time and money.
Notice
This method does not fix all flat tires. The tire patch kits are designed to repair small holes, usually the result of a puncture. Also note, this will not work for punctures to the sidewall of the tire. If the sidewall is damaged, the tire must be replaced. This patch kit should only be used to repair holes in the tread.
