Frequently Asked Questions
How does this tire repair patch compare to a plug-only repair?
This combination patch uses both a 2-1/8" interior patch and a 1/4" stem to create dual sealing - inside and through the puncture channel. Plug-only repairs lack the interior reinforcement, making them more prone to leaks under pressure or tire flexing. The patch method meets industry repair standards for permanent fixes.
Can I use this patch with cold vulcanization cement?
Yes, the X13673 works with both cold vulcanization (chemical cement) and hot vulcanization systems. The gray vulcanizing gum on the patch and stem is formulated to bond properly with either method, so it fits into your existing repair workflow without requiring new equipment.
What size punctures can this patch repair?
This patch is designed for tread-area punctures up to 1/4" (6mm) in diameter. The 2-1/8" patch provides adequate coverage for injuries in this range. For larger punctures, you'll need a bigger patch size to ensure proper sealing and structural integrity.
Do I need special tools to install this lead-wire patch?
No special insert tools are required. You only need a carbide cutter (CC6 recommended) to prepare the puncture channel. Insert from inside the tire, pull the lead wire through, and cut it off flush with the tread. Standard tire repair tools are sufficient for installation.
Will this patch work on both radial and bias-ply tires?
Yes, this tire repair patch is designed for use on both radial and bias-ply tire constructions. The vulcanizing gum formulation and patch dimensions work effectively across different tire types commonly found in passenger vehicles, light trucks, and commercial applications without compromising the seal quality.
