- Punctures larger than 6mm.
- Punctures located outside the tread area.
- Signs of under-inflation or run-flat damage.

How to Identify a Punctured Tyre
A punctured tyre can lead to several tell-tale signs like pulling to one side, vibrations, or a sudden loss of air pressure. You may also notice a visible object, such as a nail, embedded in the tyre. If any of these occur, it’s crucial to stop driving and assess the damage to prevent further complications.
Can My Puncture Be Repaired?
Not all punctures are repairable. A tyre can typically be repaired if the puncture is within the main tread area and less than 6mm in diameter. If the damage extends to the sidewall or if the tyre is heavily worn, a full replacement may be necessary to ensure safety.
Professional Tyre Puncture Repair Process
Our repair process starts with a thorough inspection to assess the extent of the damage. We use professional-grade sealants or plugs to patch the puncture, ensuring the tyre’s structural integrity. Once repaired, we recheck the tyre for leaks, inflate it to the correct pressure, and get you safely back on the road.
When to Replace Instead of Repair
Sometimes, repairing a punctured tyre isn’t a safe option. If the damage is near the sidewall, the hole is too large, or the tyre has already been repaired, replacing it is the best course of action. Driving on a damaged tyre can lead to dangerous blowouts, so safety is always our priority.
Preventing Tyre Punctures
Regularly checking your tyres for wear and maintaining proper air pressure can help prevent punctures. Avoiding hazardous areas, like construction sites or debris-filled roads, can also reduce the risk of tyre damage. Keeping your tyres in good shape ensures a safer driving experience.
