Firstly, it is about how to inspect a car tire. While you have the tire off the rim, examine the inside of it carefully. Thorns and glass slivers can hide, and may be difficult to remove. It is often helpful to push them back out through the tread with the use a sharp instrument. In addition to looking for sharp pointy things poking through, look also for broken cords or cuts in the fabric of the tire. If you find such cuts that run more than a millimeter or two, you should replace the tire when possible.
Secondly, the most important part is tire repair. Here are the proper ways about tire repairing.
1. You have to loosen lug nuts with a tire wrench with the car on the ground. Check your owner's manual if you are unsure where it is and lift up the car with a jack at the jacking point.
2. Remember to remove the lug nuts and pull the wheel off the hub. Examine the tire for foreign objects like rocks or nails. Feel along the tire, if necessary, to find things that blend into it.
3. You’d better pull out any object with a pair of pliers and mark the spot with chalk or markers. Apply the soapy mixture to the surface of the tire. Bubbles will appear at the site of your leak. Mark the area the same way you would have if there had been an object.
4. To be more convenient for repairing, you can locate the rasp tool contained in the tire plug kit and insert it into and out of the hole quickly. Fill the plug and with cement from the kit. Use the insertion tool to place the plug into the hole.
5. Allow the adhesive to dry for at least a minute, and then cut away the excess plug material from the tire surface. Pump air into the tire and check that the tire is at the correct air pressure.
6. Lastly, apply some soap mixture onto the plugged hole to check the seal to make sure it is holding. Put the tire back on the hub and tighten the lug nuts using a star pattern.
Finally, things to check whether it is proper finished. Make sure the tire bead isn't sitting on top of the tube or rim strip anywhere. Make sure the tire bead you're working on is pushed as close to the middle of the rim channel as you can get it. The thinner the rim tape, the easier it is to mount the tire. If you want to have a new look after repairing, you can choose spray paint for your car.
