Inflatable tire repair involves using a temporary solution to fix a flat tire. This method typically includes a sealant that can be injected into the tire through the valve stem. The sealant fills small punctures and leaks, allowing the tire to hold air until a permanent repair can be made. This type of repair is often used in emergency situations, especially for vehicles like bicycles and cars. Products designed for inflatable tire repair are widely available and can be a quick fix, but they are not a substitute for professional repairs by a qualified mechanic or tire technician.
