PREMA PRE-PRI-3 Insert Repair, 1/4" Hole, 5-1/8" Length, Reinforced Blue Poly Wrapped (Box of 40)

Q: Do I need special tools to install these tire repair inserts?

You will need a tire plug installation tool (needle tool) and PREMA insert cement for proper application. Most tire repair kits include these necessary insertion tools. Remove any debris from the puncture hole, apply cement to the insert, thread it through the tool, and push through until only 1/4 inch remains visible above the tread surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long can I drive on a tire repaired with these inserts?

These provide temporary emergency repairs designed to get you to a tire service facility safely, typically within 50-100 miles of driving. Professional tire shops strongly recommend having the tire inspected and permanently repaired as soon as possible since these inserts are intended only for emergency mobility situations.

What size punctures can these repair inserts handle?

PRI-3 inserts are specifically designed for punctures up to 1/4 inch (6mm) in diameter, which covers most common nail and screw punctures found in the tire tread area. The 5-1/8 inch length provides adequate sealing material for complete tire thickness. Do not attempt to use on punctures larger than 1/4 inch or any sidewall damage.

Do I need special tools to install these tire repair inserts?

You need a tire plug installation tool and PREMA insert cement for proper application. Remove debris from the puncture hole, apply cement to insert, thread through tool, and push through until only 1/4 inch remains visible above tread.

Can these inserts be used on motorcycle tires?

Yes, these inserts work effectively on all tubeless tires including motorcycles and ATVs, but remember they are temporary repairs requiring professional follow-up service. Motorcycle riders should exercise extra caution and reduce speed after any tire repair since the reinforced construction handles higher operating pressures found in motorcycle applications temporarily only.

How does this compare to mushroom-style tire patches?

Insert repairs provide faster emergency solutions that do not require tire removal from the rim, while mushroom-style patches require complete tire dismounting but offer permanent repair from the inside surface. Use inserts for roadside emergencies when you need immediate mobility to reach a service facility. Professional patches are stronger and longer-lasting solutions.
