*NOTE: Maximum number of repairs are for tires that will applied to vehicles with a tactical mission (on
and off highway use). When two sectional repairs are permitted, they must be 1/3 the tire circumference
apart.
*NOTE: There are no total maximum amount limits established for standard highway tires, except that
there should not be more than one repair per tire quadrant.
*NOTE: The above standards apply to General Support tire repair facilities and are not intended to be
applied to commercial retreaders who may have the capability to conduct repairs beyond these limits.
