Hi Oldduke,

Mostly tires with special rubber compound (read: low rolling resistance) need to be patched from inside. I've done that when I used Yokohama tires before. The rubber material was incompatible with sticky thread repair. But now I'm using Michelin which luckily accepts the sticky repair.

Tire shops here also recommend using internal patch to any gullible customers. Ways to make more money I guess. I declined. I asked them to try sticky repair first.


Regards,
Amarin.
