| If the customer complains of a loss of air from a tyre, it is essential that you check for embedded foreign bodies. |
Note | No repair should be attempted on steel-belted tyres if their structure has been punctured by a foreign body. |
| Corrosion can develop on the steel wires. This will always lead to the separation of the rubber from the steel belt. |
| Generally, one cannot determine when the foreign body was embedded. The tyre structure may already have been damaged as a result of driving with insufficient tyre pressure. |
| Damaged belt wires will sooner or later lead to separation of the rubber from the steel belt. As a result, at some point, the tyre can fail completely, long after the tyre was first damaged. |
