RADIAL TIRE REPAIRS

APPLICATI0N: ALL SAAB MODELS

Proper radial tire repair is critical in order to preserve the integrity and speed rating of a tire. Tread repairs should only be performed using the proper materials and techniques. Sidewall repairs should never be made, no matter what repair technique is used.




One of the best repair kits for performing tread repairs is the Radial Combi-Patch. The Combi-Patch prevents moisture and air from penetrating the tread which may cause a tread separation or rusting of the steel cords.

Saab-Scania of America is now stocking the Radial Combi-Patch tire repair kit as a convenience to dealers.
