Tyre repairs in Cape Town

Post by Rusti »

Hi guys.

I got this cut in my tyre and need to get it fixed. I heard they can weld a patch on the inside. Does anyone have contact details for someone in Cape Town that can do this?

What do they usually charge for this kind of thing?

If I am not mistaken they call it a mushroom plug. You can go to Tiger wheel and tyre. Hopefully is the cut not to big?.

A guy at Googhope tyres had a look at it for me and said they do some sort of rubber welding a patch to the inside. They dont do it themselves so Im looking for someone that can give me solid advice. Hopefully the wholes no too big.
