A tire patch for repairing an associated vehicle tire, comprising: a patch body configured to overlay a portion of the associated vehicle tire; the patch body being defined by a width and a length extending traverse to the width between a pair of opposing ends, the patch body including a longitudinal centerline extending across the patch body width perpendicular to the patch body length; a plurality of reinforcements received at least partially within the patch body to form a single layer of reinforcements arranged within the patch body thickness, the single layer of reinforcements comprising a single ply of material comprising the plurality of reinforcements arranged within an elastomeric substrate, each reinforcement of the plurality of reinforcements having a length extending between a first reinforcement ending and a second reinforcement ending, such that each of the first reinforcement ending and the second reinforcement ending is directed away from the other of the first reinforcement ending and the second reinforcement ending and the longitudinal centerline of the patch body, wherein the length of each reinforcement of the plurality of reinforcements extends in a direction of the patch body length between the pair of opposing ends of the patch body, characterized in that the plurality of reinforcements are arranged in a spaced apart, side-by-side arrangement in the direction of the width of the patch body such that the first reinforcement endings are arranged in a staggered arrangement whereby a first reinforcement endings (""9 are arranged to extend in the direction of the patch body width such that adjacent first reinforcement endings of a first reinforcement and a second reinforcement of each of two or more adjacent pairs of reinforcements of the plurality of reinforcements are offset a distance relative each other in a direction of the patch body length such that the adjacent first reinforcement endings of the first reinforcement and second reinforcement of each of two or more adjacent pairs of reinforcements are arranged different distances from the longitudinal centerline of the patch to form one or more undulations along the staggered arrangement of first reinforcement endings. a patch body configured to overlay a portion of the associated vehicle tire; the patch body being defined by a width and a length extending traverse to the width between a pair of opposing ends, the patch body including a longitudinal centerline extending across the patch body width perpendicular to the patch body length; a plurality of reinforcements received at least partially within the patch body to form a single layer of reinforcements arranged within the patch body thickness, the single layer of reinforcements comprising a single ply of material comprising the plurality of reinforcements arranged within an elastomeric substrate, each reinforcement of the plurality of reinforcements having a length extending between a first reinforcement ending and a second reinforcement ending, such that each of the first reinforcement ending and the second reinforcement ending is directed away from the other of the first reinforcement ending and the second reinforcement ending and the longitudinal centerline of the patch body, wherein the length of each reinforcement of the plurality of reinforcements extends in a direction of the patch body length between the pair of opposing ends of the patch body, characterized in that the plurality of reinforcements are arranged in a spaced apart, side-by-side arrangement in the direction of the width of the patch body such that the first reinforcement endings are arranged in a staggered arrangement whereby a first reinforcement endings (""9 are arranged to extend in the direction of the patch body width such that adjacent first reinforcement endings of a first reinforcement and a second reinforcement of each of two or more adjacent pairs of reinforcements of the plurality of reinforcements are offset a distance relative each other in a direction of the patch body length such that the adjacent first reinforcement endings of the first reinforcement and second reinforcement of each of two or more adjacent pairs of reinforcements are arranged different distances from the longitudinal centerline of the patch to form one or more undulations along the staggered arrangement of first reinforcement endings.
