When Can a Tire Be Safely Repaired?
Not all punctures are repairable. According to industry safety standards, a tire can typically be repaired only if the puncture meets specific criteria.
Repairable Area
- Punctures must be located within the center tread area of the tire.
- The hole must fall within the main tread surface (the "green zone").
- The puncture must be small enough to properly seal and reinforce.
Not Repairable
We will NOT repair a tire if:
- The puncture is in the sidewall
- The puncture is in the shoulder area of the tire
- The tire has been driven on while flat
- The tire has sidewall damage
- The puncture is larger than 1/4 inch
- The tire is worn below 4/32 tread depth
- The tire is over 6 years old
- The damage is a slice or irregular tear that cannot be sealed safely
If the puncture falls within 25% of the outer edge of the tread width, the tire may not qualify for repair depending on its design.
Our team will inspect the tire thoroughly before performing any repair. We will never compromise your safety just to make a sale.
What’s the Difference Between a Tire Plug and a Patch?
A tire plug seals the puncture from the outside and is often used for small, clean tread punctures.
A tire patch seals the tire from the inside, reinforcing the damaged area and restoring air retention.
In some cases, a combination repair may be used depending on the tire condition and location of the damage.
Our technicians will determine the safest and most effective repair method based on the inspection.
