Can Your Puncture Be Repaired?
Not all punctures can be safely repaired. We assess each tyre based on:
- Location of the puncture (repairs are only safe in the central tread area)
- Size of the puncture (generally up to 6mm diameter)
- Whether the tyre has been driven on while flat
- Presence of any other damage like cuts, bulges, or sidewall damage
- The overall condition and tread depth of the tyre
- Previous repairs to the same tyre
- Age of the tyre and signs of deterioration
If a repair isn't possible, we'll explain why and offer competitive replacement options from our range of quality tyres.
