Avon Tire Repairs
For repairs, see any tire dealer at once. Never use a plug-only or patch-only repair.
If any tire has sustained a puncture, have the tire dismounted & inspected internally by any tire dealer for possible damage that may have occurred.
Punctures in the tread of passenger tires which do not exceed 1/4-inch (6mm) in diameter can be repaired by following Rubber Manufacturers' Association (RMA) recommended repair procedures. A plug by itself or a patch by itself is an unacceptable repair. The repair material used - for example, a "combination patch & plug" repair - must seal the innerliner & fill the injury to be considered a permanent repair. Never use a tube in a tubeless tire as a substitute for a proper repair.
If the tire has a puncture in the tread which exceeds 1/4-inch (6mm), any puncture in the sidewall, or if more than one radial cable per casing ply is damaged, the tire must be replaced.
