Can I Always Repair My Tyre?

When is Tyre Repair possible?

Tyres are often the most forsaken part of our vehicle. We often take tyres for granted as most of us just think of them to be inflated black rubber tubes. But that's obviously not true. Tyres are put to test when they come on the roads. That's the actual evaluation of the tyres. Our tyres need to brave a lot of harshness on the roads on an everyday basis. There are stones, kerbs and even glass shards sometimes waiting to welcome our tyres. 

As a driver of an automobile, you can very well imagine the plight of your tyres fitting Nottingham. Due to all these things on the road, they often get damaged. Now, replacing a tyre is not always a feasible option as each tyre costs us a huge sum of money. So, people often go for repairs in the first instance. But it's not always possible to repair a tyre. There are various rules attached to it. Let’s read and find out. 

When can you repair the puncture in your tyre?

· You can repair the puncture in your tyre if it’s no more than 6mm in size. 

· The puncture can also be repaired if the tyre has not been driven when flat.

· If the puncture is in the tread section of the tyre, then also it can be repaired. It should be located  in the three-quarters of the tyre tread. 

· There shouldn’t be any previous puncture close to the current one. 

· If your tread depth is still 1.6mm or more than it, then the puncture can be repaired.

· If the structural integrity of the tyre hasn’t been compromised during the damage, then also the technician  will repair your tyre.

· If the rubber of the tyre is not deteriorated, worn or cracked, then your tyre can be repaired. 

· If the cords of your tyre are still not exposed during the injury, then also you can get your tyrerepaired. 

If you find anything contrary to the above issues, then it’s time to bid adieu to your tyres Nottingham and invest in a new one. Your safety is paramount and you must never compromise it, whatsoever. 

Can the puncture in the sidewall be repaired?

Well, honestly, no. A puncture in the sidewall cannot be repaired. Repairing a puncture in the sidewall would mean compromising with its structural integrity. That's because it's the sidewall of your tyre that combats with various other external forces on the road. Even if you attempt repairing this part of the tyre, it would all go in vain. The sidewalls of your tyres fitting Nottingham are meant to flex a lot, so whatever patch you apply, it is not going to remain in place for long. 

Can you repair the bulge in the tyre?

Well, again, the answer comes as 'no' here. If you repair this bulge in the tyre, it would again weaken the load-bearing capacity of the tyre. In this case, you must always buy a new one.

Can damage by external objects be repaired?

If the tyre is punctured by a nail, then it can be repaired, provided you notice the damage as soon as it occurs. If a substantial amount of time has already passed, then it would be difficult for you to get it repaired. The tyre may get flat in this case and would reach the stage of beyond repair.

What’s the correct way of repairing a tyre?

The British Standard way of repairing a tyre is the best way, where you use a patch and a plug both to repair your tyre and you must see that it is followed by your technician diligently. Always check that your tyre is first dismounted and then repaired.

Just be aware of these little things and you won’t have any problem with your tyres Nottingham ever.
