There has been a lot of misinformation about repairing Tesla tires and other EV tires with sound suppression foam. The good news is that like any other tire, sound suppression tires can be repaired. TECH developed a process for repairing sound suppression tires that adheres to the Tire Industry Association (TIA)’s guidelines for proper tire repair. What follows is an overview of the process.
We have developed a simple acronym to remember the steps of our proper tire repair process.
R: Remove the Tire From the Wheel.
E: Evaluate the Injury
P: Prepare the Injury
A: Apply Vulcanizing Fluid (a.k.a. Cement)
I: Install the Repair
R: Return the Tire to Service

I am Tech with 30yrs experience. Was curious how Tesla tires were repaired. I had to comment as this is one the clearest, comprehensive, concise videos I think I have ever watched. Kudos!

This is a more involved process than the typical tire. But it is possible to repair and ultimately help you get the full life from your tires.

She forgot to add one of the most important “non-repairable conditions” which are “bad drivers”. When I was in charge of fleet tire repair, the worst thing for sidewall damage to truck tires were new drivers - 😂

While understandable; that's beyond our skill set. We can only help once the tire has been damaged and deemed repairable.

So for the tacky sound suppression foam, the UL6 just gets stitched to the glue from the foam after prep?

@TECHTireRepairs Жыл бұрын

That is correct... If the adhesive is tacky, then yes, the repair would be stitched directly to the adhesive. The tackiness of the adhesive will hold the repair in place. That type of adhesive can also be extremely difficult to remove in order to apply the repair to the inner liner.

When do you use 739??

@TECHTireRepairs 3 ай бұрын

You would use it to seal the edge of the repair once it was been properly stitched.

Sorry....you lost me when you continued to use the word 'injury' to reference 'damage' to the tire. It's unfortunate that there isn't a 'd' in 'Repair'.....but maybe you could have used a different acronym.

We thought Repair was rather clever. But tomato... tomato.

We don’t repair ncs tires. I sell them all day long. All that work, does not pay in the long run if the vehicle comes back. Let romtine else take the risk.

To each their own. We believe in educating everyone on the proper way to repair a tire; especially as tires continue to evolve.
