Section Repairs

You Paid Good Money for Your Tires; Don't Let Larger Injuries Take Them Out of Commission. See if Your OTR Tires are Eligible for Section Repairs

A section repair becomes necessary when an injury in the tread or shoulder falls outside the repairable limit or when the damage occurs in the sidewall. If the damage to the tread center exceeds 3/8 of an inch or the injury is located in the shoulder or sidewall area, the tire may be eligible for a section repair. Section repairing is an affordable way to save on tire operation costs by extending the tire's service life.

How is a Section Repair Performed on a Tire?

A section repair involves removal of the damaged body plies and belt cables. Next, the injury is layered with raw rubber and cured. Additional support is added via a reinforced repair unit on the tire's inside that seals the inner liner. When performed properly, a section repaired tire's casing may be considered for retreading when the time comes. Section repairs require special equipment and knowledge, and the process takes time to remove the damaged material and cure the repair. However, section repairs can save your business a significant amount on operation costs, especially in an industry where tire costs are one of the bigger expenses.
