Have you had a flat tyre? What next? Do you really need to replace or can a damaged tyre be repaired?

Inspection is vital - if you have any doubts about whether or not a tyre should be repaired, Economy Tyres can help.

 

We perform puncture repairs and can advise you if
your tyre is repairable. Depending on the area of the tyre where the puncture occurs will determine if the
tyre is repairable. Generally tyres with punctures in
the tread area are repairable.

Punctures are usually caused by sharp objects like small nails and screws. These objects tend to cause punctures less than 5mm in diameter. If they occur within the tread area of the tyre, a repair can usually be made. However, if there are sizeable punctures to the tread or punctures to the tyre's shoulder or sidewall areas, then tyres are usually beyond repair and will need replacement i

 

The repair is made from the inside out, involving 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. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
