Return
You’re driving on the highway and you get a flat tire. That situation can be frustrating and inconvenient. Getting a flat is usually caused by sharp objects such as nails, glass, debris, and other elements left on the road. A flat tire can only be repaired if the punctured tire's tread area is less than 1/4" in diameter. Repair of larger tread punctures and of punctures to the tire's shoulder and sidewall areas are not recommended.
Before repairing a punctured tire, you need to evaluate the type, size, and location of the damage. Proper tire repairs should be performed by trained tire service professionals using manufacturer approved procedures, which stipulates that a tire puncture repair must include both a plug and a patch.
When is My Tire Beyond Repair?
The tread depth is lower than the 1.6 mm legal limit
The rubber is cracked, worn, or deteriorated.
If the size of the puncture is more than or equal 1/4 inch from the edge of the tread
If the puncture is located outside the tread area and in the sidewall
The structural integrity of the tire has been compromised
We Can Perform a Tire Repair if:
The puncture is in the center of the tire tread, not on the shoulder or sidewall
The puncture did not occur on another repair patch
The tire sidewall and shoulder are not damaged
There is no aging or deterioration of the tire
Why Should I Get Professional Tire Repair Service?
When your tire continuously loses air or has a puncture, it is very important to your safety to have it inspected immediately by a professional. A service professional will inspect the inside and out to determine whether tire repair is possible or if it needs to be replaced. Getting a professional
tire repair service
will also properly repair your tire using Tire Industry tire repair guidelines to guarantee that the repair will be safe. These service professionals will also have the right tools and equipment to expertly repair your tire because if you don't patch or plug your tire properly, you could find yourself in a dangerous situation.
