Tyre, Wheel & Exhaust

This collection brings together tyre repair, valve, wheel and exhaust products for cars, vans, motorcycles and light commercials. Use the guidance below to pick the right repair method or part for the job.

Tyre puncture repair — For tubeless tyres, repair strings (also called strips or worms) are the quickest fix, pushed into the tread with an insertion tool; longer strings suit larger holes and heavier tread. Wired combi patches plug the hole and seal the inner liner in one pass and are the preferred permanent workshop repair. For inner tubes, use tube patches with vulcanising cement and match the patch size to the damage. Tyre repair foam is a seal-and-inflate for emergencies only, not a permanent repair.

Tyre valves and tools — Snap-in rubber valves and dust caps cover routine servicing. Valve extensions reach inner wheels and awkward positions on twin-wheel setups, with longer versions for deeper reach. Valve core tools and mounting tools handle removal, refitting and thread repair.

Wheel balancing and inspection — Lead-free adhesive weight strips are the standard for balancing alloy and steel wheels. A tread depth gauge and marking chalk cover inspection and workshop marking.

Exhaust repair — Assembly paste seals joints when fitting new sections, while repair putty patches small holes in silencers and pipework. U-bolt clamps secure joints, and gasket paper cuts to shape for manifold and flange seals.
