There is only one repair that is accepted by British standards its called BS AU 159. The string is legal to use as a temp repair
for road legal vehicles but not for a proper tyre repair company or garage to use I used to string tyres on the roadside
try laying on the hard shoulder with motorway traffic blasting past its doggy as hell. Jump out n see if it was still on the rim
blow it up string it then get the driver to pull off at the next junction & repair it properly.
If a tyre was brought in to the garage with a string repair it is illegal to repair that tyre.
However string/bow tie repairs is legal on agricultural vehicles for non road going only, as for vulcanising been there seen loads
of them explode cause lots of damage & a pita to balance not usually done on car tyres as its not cost effective, loads of
commercial done used to have a company called vaculug do ours probably 10/15 every week.

The British standard repair is a plug, a patch can be used but the outside must be filled with a rubber filler to stop water
getting into the cords.

Drizzle here what a difference from yestiday might go for a wee picnic up to Glencoe area.

it can't be illegal to repair a tyre that's had a string repair, the advice says take it for a proper repair as soon as possible?

They refuse to propper repair after a string repair as there's glue from the string repair inside. Inner surface is said to be compromised.

First one that came up with BS AU 159

Look under initial inspection.......

The boring bit

The Motor Vehicle Tyres (Safety) (Amendment) Regulations 2003

These Regulations amend the Motor Vehicle Tyres (Safety) Regulations 1994 (S.I. 1994/3117) so as to take account of new technical requirements introduced by recent ECE Regulations.

I used to have all the legislation when I was a manager for ATS Euromaster I binned everything with my signature on it
when I left. I did keep some stuff like a full set of brakes for my evo, air brake bleeder n other tools & sets of tyres for
most of my family
