Tyre Punctures

Tyres can often be beyond repair and will need replacement if there is sizeable punctures to the tread or punctures to the tyre's shoulder or sidewall areas.
The function of a puncture repair is to seal the tyre's casing to prevent moisture or contaminants from entering the tyre casing or structure. The tyre must be removed from the rim to perform a correct puncture repair. This allows for a complete inspection of the damage and ensures the plug used to repair the puncture bonds properly with the tyre casing to make it air-tight. The repair is made from the inside out.
A puncture repair usually takes
around 30 minutes to complete. It involves deflating and removing the flat tyre from the rim, assessing and repairing the puncture before re-fitting it to the rim and balancing the tyre on the wheel. It is then fitted to your vehicle and your spare placed back into storage.
