Puncture Repairs in Forster
So your tyre has a puncture? Or you suspect a slow puncture? The good news is that in most cases, punctures can be repaired.
You should always have a damaged or suspected damaged tyre assessed by a trained technician.
If you suspect you have a punctured tyre but can’t see an immediate leak, you should still have it assessed by a professional as soon as possible. A slow puncture can result in a tyre blowout, which should be avoided at all costs. In most cases self identifying a tyre puncture is easy and simple.
Yes! A tyre will only be repaired if it is safe to do so, otherwise a replacement will be recommended.
A successful puncture repair depends on where the puncture is on the tyre. A puncture that occurs between the tyre’s shoulders (the central portion of the tread area), that is less than 6mm in diameter is usually repairable.
Damage to the sidewall, including bulges, uneven tyre wear, and cuts are usually non repairable.
The short answer is no, doing so will almost certainly result in the tyre needing replacement rather than repair.
Not always, Flat tyres have often lost a lot of air, if not all their air. Some punctures are only small and so the air is released slowly. When driving a car with a deflated tyre for any period of time, you run the risk of causing the tyre to de-bead or end up in a state of disintegration. This can be damaging to the rims and potentially cause loss of vehicle control. Furthermore repairing a tyre is much more financially viable than replacing one.
