It is crucial to know when it is okay to have a tire repaired and when a tire should just be replaced. If a tire loses its air pressure, it must be removed from the wheel for a complete internal visual inspection to check for damage. Tires that are even run a short distance while flat are often damaged beyond repair.

Most punctures, nail holes, and cuts up to ¼ inch can be repaired by trained technicians as long as the damage is confined to the tread. DO NOT repair any tire with tread punctures longer than ¼ inch, or any sidewall puncture.

All permanent tire repairs should be handled by trained professionals and never without dismantling the tire from the wheel. Plugs and other quick-fix flat tire remedies are okay to get you to safety. But, they are ONLY TEMPORARY REPAIRS. The only approved tire repairing technique is to fill the repair area if needed and then patch and reseal the tire from the inside.

Also, be sure you spare is inflated to proper pressure and is in good shape. When any problems with your tires occur, head to Tire Town immediately for expert service from our trained technicians.
