PIRELLI TIRES
Pirelli “Seal Inside” Technology
Select Pirelli tires incorporate “Seal Inside” technology, a construction
designed to stop the loss of air from a tire when punctured by an object.
Providing the puncture does not compromise the structural integrity of
the tire, a sealing material layer prevents possible air leakage in the event
of a carcass puncture.
The “Seal Inside ” technology is not designed or intended to be a
permanent repair, and is only meant
to allow the consumer to go to a
Pirelli dealer for an inspection to determine if repair or replacement is
needed.
