Bead Seal and Two Tyres for Honda Jazz

As the age of a car increases, the likely hood that it will need a bead seal on the alloy increases. Having a bad bead normally results in a slow puncture and can be fixed relatively easily. Whilst we were there, the customer also got herself booked in for two new front Firestone tyres. With the pre-inspection complete, we removed the old tyres and took a look at the bead to see what the issue was.

Turns out, rust was the issue! Despite only being 13 years old, this little Jazz had started to develop a rust issue on the rim. To help adhesion with the bead sealant, we air chiseled away the rust, put down a protective coating to help prevent rust and then put the sealant on top. The new 185/ 55 R15 Firestone Road Hawk tyre was then fitted and blown up to the correct pressure.

With both tyres back on the vehicle, we did a quick test drive to ensure that everything was up to scratch. With the seal of approval, the customer was sent on his way!
