Puncture Repair
An injury in the thread (crown) area only caused by a small, sharp object penetrating the innerliner of the tire. The injury can be a maximum of 1/4" (6mm) in passenger tires & 3/8" (10mm) in light and medium truck tires.

Spot Repair
A rubber only repair that penetrates less then 25% of the body plies. An arear to be spot repaired must not exhibit any cord damage except in the case of Bias-Ply tires, which may have up to 25% of the cord plies injured.

Reinforcement Repair
An injury which penetrates between 25% and up to 75% of the body plies. A cord reinforced repair unit is required on the innerliner of the tire.

Section Repair
An injury that penetrates 75% or more of the body plies and exceeds the puncture repair limits.
