Independent Investigation Confirms Tyre Repair Integrity Following Failure Event

Key Outcomes

Full forensic tyre failure analysis completed
Repair integrity confirmed compliant
External chemical interaction identified as contributing factor

The Challenge

A repaired tyre was removed from service after a sidewall bubble developed. A full investigation was required to determine whether the failure was related to repair quality or
external factors.

Our Solution

A detailed forensic investigation was conducted, including dissection, structural analysis, and independent laboratory testing of environmental influences.

Results

Repair area confirmed structurally sound
No internal repair defects identified
Failure linked to casing separation
Chemical interaction contributed to rubber degradation
Repair process validated as compliant

Conclusion

Findings confirmed that external chemical exposure, not repair quality, caused the failure, reinforcing confidence in repair standards and processes.
