With this technology, tyres can self-repair multiple punctures because of nails or other sharp objects, up to 6 mm in the tread area instantly, as per the tyre maker.

Puncture guard tyre provides hassle-free ride throughout the life of the tyre, without air loss. With the introduction of Smart tyre technology in 2020 and currently the Puncture Guard Tyre technology, they have yet again delivered on their commitment to rendering advanced mobility solutions to their customers. This technology provides a high level of safety and convenience to vehicle owners, as per JK Tyre Chairman & Managing Director Raghupati Singhania.
