Tyres >Help >Tyres Help > Are tyre plugs legal in the UK?
Yes, tyre plugs are legal. However, tyre plugs should only be used as a temporary fix. Tyres affected or fitted with plugs should be replaced as soon as possible. They are only really suitable for a short period of time.
How do tyre plugs work?
They work by plugging a hole in the tyre. This is then secured with a patch. Essentially this process seals the hole and prevents any further air loss.
