Tyre Puncture Repair

Tyre punctures can happen to anyone, often caused by potholes, kerbs, or sharp objects like nails, stones, or glass. These incidents can result in small holes that may cause slow punctures over time. Fortunately, around half of all puncture-related flat tyres can be repaired, saving you the cost of a full tyre replacement!

Tyre Puncture British Standards

When it comes to tyre repairs, safety and compliance are paramount. All tyre repairs must adhere to the strict guidelines laid out by the British Standard (BSAU 159). These regulations ensure that tyres are repaired under conditions that maintain safety and performance, setting out when and how a tyre can be repaired.

How to Spot a Car Tyre Puncture

Worried you might have a punctured tyre? Even if it hasn’t gone completely flat, there are a few signs to watch out for:

Difficulty Steering: If steering feels heavier or less responsive than usual, it could be due to a slow puncture causing the tyre to gradually lose air.
Unstable Driving Feel: A punctured tyre may make the car feel wobbly or create a shuddering sensation as you drive.
Pulling to One Side: If the car pulls to the left or right, it may indicate a puncture on that corresponding side.
Unusual Noises: A ticking noise while driving may suggest a nail or screw lodged in the tyre, hitting the road surface with each rotation.

Spotting these signs early can help you address the puncture before it worsens and potentially leads to more damage.

Is my puncture repairable?

Determining whether your tyre puncture can be repaired depends on several crucial factors, which include the puncture’s location, the object that caused it, the tyre’s condition, and the tyre’s speed rating.

Guidelines for Repairable Tyres

Location of the Puncture

A puncture is only repairable if it is less than 6mm in diameter and located in the central ¾ of the tyre. Damage near or on the sidewall is considered unsafe and cannot be repaired.

Type of Object Causing the Puncture

If the tyre was punctured by a small object such as a nail or screw, and the damage is within the repairable zone (central ¾), it is likely repairable.

Condition of the Tyre

The tyre’s overall condition plays a significant role. Tyres with sidewall damage, visible bead wires, or distorted and cracking rubber are deemed unsafe and will need replacing.

Important Considerations

Tyres with a speed rating of ‘V’ or higher can only have one puncture repair during their lifetime. Additional repairs compromise the tyre’s integrity and safety.

If you’re unsure about your tyre’s condition or repair eligibility, always consult a professional for an expert assessment to ensure your driving safety.

Can You Repair Flat Tyres?

At 24/7 Tyre Assist, we prioritise your safety when it comes to repairing flat tyres. Our expert technicians always assess each tyre individually, carefully checking for issues like damage or age-related wear. However, not all flat tyres are repairable. Damage to the reinforced sidewalls of these tyres can often remain hidden, making it unsafe to attempt repairs in some cases. Our qualified team will determine on a case-by-case basis if your flat tyre can be repaired or needs replacing.

What to Do If You Get a Flat or Punctured Tyre

A flat tyre is never ideal, but if you experience a puncture, here’s what to do:

Get to Safety: If possible, move your car to a safe spot away from traffic.
Assess Your Options: If your car has a spare tyre or a puncture repair kit, and you feel confident handling the repair, you can proceed to fix or replace the wheel yourself.
Have the Tyre Checked: Whether you’ve repaired the puncture yourself or not, it’s always best to allow 24/7 Tyre Assist to visit. Our team will inspect the tyre for damage and ensure it’s safe to use.

For peace of mind and expert advice, visit 24/7 Tyre Assist whenever you encounter an issue with your tyres.
