Which Tire Puncture repair method to Opt for!

[Parker1]

Salam Everyone,
Hope you are fine and doing well.

I was concerned about one thing, so thought of discussing this Here.

Which Tire puncture repair method is better in terms of tire's life and performance.

1- Suway wala. (Quick Method)
2- Istri Wala. (Time Taking Method)

2 for longer life of your tyre

Had bad experiences with both, so I'm unsure too. Almost all local mechanics (ustaads) prefer and recommend option 2, but not only it is time consuming, if done incorrectly or in haste, it may distort the tyre and make it useless. This has happened to me at least twice.

This does not mean the 1st one is better. It may also lead to a loss of tyre, as I have experienced that too, though maybe this risk is lower here. The good thing is you don't waste too much time, so I usually go for that.

I guess it also depends where the puncture is i.e. on the tyre front or sidewall, but experts here can shed more light on the preferred option.

i think first method seriously effects the integrity of tyre and its strength as the tool break the thread built in rubber to support it.

hence, 2nd option is recommended, if done correctly and by the person who knows what he is doing!

i always opt for the vulcanizing, and never had any problem with that.

My Rule is,

• Dosen`t matter if your tyre has 5 punctures, only opt for repairing the puncture which is annoying you (leaking air while tyre dipped in Water).

• If pierced nail is thin and tyre not deteriorated, opt for Suway waala method.

• If puncture is big with thick nail, damaged tyre or with angular (+/- 45 degree angle etc) piercing, opt for Istri waala method.

• In the end, make sure Puncture waala wont stretch your tyre air nozzle " ka saab, yeh bhe change kerlo kharab hogaya" and mint 100-150 rupees more from you.

I just went to puncture waala after driving my car to 35k km on Dunlop Japanese tyres as i was needing to fill air after every 2nd day. Puncture guy genuinely marked 5-6 nails on tyre (probably all nails pierced in last 2 yrs).
I asked him now dip tyre in water and let me see. dekha tou only 1 puncture was leaking air(possibly last nail inserted). I simply asked him to only repair 1 and leave rest which he has done with utter reluctance.
It has been a month now, now problem till now.

Dont damage your tyres unnecessary, enjoy benefits of tubeless tyres.

I damaged many tyres in past ek waqt main 5-6 puntures lagwa ker as after few days, koi purana he puncture leak hojata tha and repairing past punctures means ka it will for sure annoy you in future.
