ONTISEAL

TIRE
OWNERS:
A
ContiSeal™
tire differs from a non-ContiSeal™ tire in that it
has
a
s
ticky
,
viscous layer from
shoulder
to
shoulder
along the
inner
liner
.
This layer is an integral part of ContiSeal™
tir
e
s
.
It is
not
designed
or
intended
to act as a
permanent puncture r
epair
.
If
an object up to
3/16”
(5 mm)
diameter penetrates
the
tread
of
a
ContiSeal™
tire, this
s
ticky
,
viscous layer is
designed
to
surround
and
adhere
to the
puncturing
object and
prevent
air loss
from
the tire by
providing
a near
instantaneous
seal. If the
punc
turing
object
becomes dislodged
from the tire, the
material
is
de
signed
to seal most holes
made
by
objects
up to
3/16”
(5 mm)
diamet
er
.
While
ContiSeal™
tires significantly
reduce
the
incidence
of
flat
s
,
they are not
designed
to be driven
under
inflated or in a
flat
condition. In all
other
aspec
t
s
,
ContiSeal™ tires
perform
e
x
ac
tly
like non-ContiSeal™
tir
e
s
.
As with any tire,
regularly inspect
ContiSeal™ tires for
e
videnc
e
of
cuts
,
punc
ture
s
,
and loss of inflation
pressure.
At a
minimum,
ContiSeal™
tires should be
inspected
once or twice a
month and
always
before
a long
trip
.
Punctures
or
damage
not
attended
t
o
promptly
can result in loss of inflation
pressure and/or damage
to the tire. ContiSeal™ tires with cuts and
punctures
must
be
inspected
by a
trained
tire specialist as soon as
possible The
trained
tire specialist must
inspect
the tire carefully and,
ac
c
or
ding
to
industry
s
tandar
ds
,
to
determine whether
a
permanent r
epair
can be
made
or
whether
the tire must be
removed
