Product Overview:
The X‑tra Seal Lead Wire Insert is a premium-grade repair plug designed for efficient, permanent tire repairs in both radial and bias-ply applications. Coated with vulcanizing gum and featuring an embedded lead wire for insertion control, this cured-rubber insert supports both chemical and heat vulcanization methods, ensuring secure integration into the tire’s structure

-
Wire-Guided Installation: Embedded steel lead wire allows for tool-free inside-out installation—simply pull and trim for quick, precise placement

Application Use:
Use a carbide channel cutter to prepare the puncture. Insert the lead wire from the inside of the tire, pull until the rubber plug seats flush, then trim the wire flush with the liner. Proceed with your chosen vulcanization method to complete the repair.
