E5
Mobile tyre fitting in Springfield
In Springfield (E5) the technician inspects the tyre on site and says whether an internal patch is suitable or the tyre has to be replaced. The price is agreed first.
What E5 refers to

Tread or sidewall in Springfield
A nail in the central tread can often be repaired once the tyre is off the wheel. A cut, bubble, or cord in the sidewall cannot. That rule does not change because the car is in Springfield. If you can see the damage from a safe place, describe it. E5 only tells us where to drive. The tyre decides the repair.
The inside of the tyre
The finished repair for a puncture in Springfield is a patch from the inside, after the tyre is off the rim, in the manner of BS AU 159. A rope plug pushed in from the outside is not that repair. We will not describe it as one. If E5 is a roadside spot, we still need enough room to take the wheel off.
