Why repair OTR tyres?

• Worldwide shortage of OTR tyres
• Ever increasing cost of new tyres that are associated with ever increasing costs of raw materials
• Environmental reasons
• Increase in demand for OTR tyres
• Lower cost per hour

Bias Tyres

Tyre repairs greatly prolong tyre life, thereby reducing overall cost per hour. This involves removing damaged tyres before the injury has migrated into a large irreparable damaged area. Preventative maintenance is important on bias ply tyres, as these tyres have multiple plies that could cause separations if not caught early.

Cable replacements on radial tyres

Our method of cable replacement repairing enables us to repair tyres which normally would be deemed irrepairable. This is a process where damaged steel cords are removed and replaced with new steel cords. The damaged area is reinforced and replaced with a patch that is filled with rubber on the outside and then cured. Tyres with serious sidewall cuts are able to be repaired and returned into service.

We have a 1000 hour guarantee on all repairs, including cable replacement repairs, subject to the level of tyre maintenance being carried out at an acceptable standard.
