Impressive technology
Products with special features and structures
TAP-RAP units, as opposed to standard technology, behave in a way similar to that of deforming the tire repaired area, in every operational condition, thanks to their patented structure, which ensures flexibility in every direction.
Studies conducted by independent body*, assessed retread tires comparatively. Those retreaded with TAP-RAP technology showed consistent behavior and no evidence of heating the ends of the repaired area. Those undergoing conventional repairs showed significant heating at the ends and highly inconsistent behavior.
*Ricerca sviluppata dal Politecnico di Bari, in Italia.
WSP – Italian Technology
We are the inventors of cable replacement technology WSP (Window/ Steelcord/ Protection). The process consists of a bicomponent unit comprised of flexible steel cables that are radially dislocated and a special protection, made of rubber only, as that of a regular tire.
Types of repaired injuries
TAP-RAP allows for repair of injuries in every part of the tire, recovering injuries that conventional technologies are not capable of recovering. See below the most common types of injuries:
Sidewall
Sidewall injuries (tire’s most sensitive area), up to 60 cables of the damaged structure.

Shoulder
Injuries in the tire shoulder and/or along the radial direction, up to 20 cables of the damaged structure.
