PREMA PRE-PT-3 Tube Patch, 2-1/4" Round, Box of 40

Q: How does this compare to plug-style tire repairs?

Patches provide permanent repairs by bonding directly to the inner tube surface with vulcanizing cement, creating a chemical and mechanical bond. Plugs are designed as temporary fixes that fill the hole but don't bond to the rubber. PREMA patches offer superior long-term reliability and professional-grade strength for inner tube punctures, making them the preferred choice for lasting repairs.

Q: What size injuries can these 2-1/4 inch patches repair?

These patches effectively repair punctures and cuts up to 1-1/4 inches in diameter, providing the industry-recommended 1/2 inch overlap on all sides for proper sealing and safety. The 2-1/4 inch size is considered medium-duty and works well for most common tire damage including nail holes, small cuts, and punctures from road debris on cars, trucks, and bicycles.

Q: Do I need special cement for PREMA patches?

Use any standard vulcanizing cement with these patches - no special adhesive required. The PREMATACK rubber is engineered to work with quality vulcanizing cement from any manufacturer for professional-grade adhesion. Apply cement according to manufacturer instructions, allow to become tacky, then apply patch with firm pressure for optimal bonding and lasting repairs.

Q: Are these patches suitable for tubeless tires?

These are specifically engineered for inner tube repairs, not tubeless tire applications. Tubeless tires require different repair methods such as plug-and-patch combinations or professional tire repair plugs that seal from the inside and outside. For inner tubes in cars, trucks, bicycles, and agricultural equipment, these PREMA patches provide the ideal repair solution with proper adhesion and longevity.

Q: How long do PREMA patch repairs typically last?

When properly installed with vulcanizing cement following standard procedures, PREMA patches provide permanent repairs that last the entire life of the inner tube under normal driving and operating conditions. The PREMATACK cushion gum rubber creates a chemical bond that becomes part of the tube structure, offering reliable performance for years without failure or air leakage.
