Below, we explain the most common types of tire damage that can be repaired and how to tell when replacement may be necessary.
Tire Damage That Can Be Fixed
Not all tire damage means you’re due for a new set. Some issues can be safely repaired if they’re caught early and located in the right area. For instance, small punctures caused by nails, screws, or road debris that occur in the tread can often be patched or plugged. Slow leaks around the valve stem or bead are also common and can usually be fixed with a proper reseal or replacement of the faulty component. Sometimes, what feels like a “bad tire” might actually be a simple balance or alignment issue, which our team can quickly identify and remedy.
That said, some tire problems are not repairable. Damage to the sidewall, deep cuts, or large punctures that exceed a certain diameter usually mean it’s time for replacement. That’s why it’s so important to have an experienced technician take a close look.
