There are strict guidelines that technicians must adhere to for a proper tire repair:
- The puncture must be at least ½ inch away from the edge of the tread where the steel belt begins.
- The puncture's diameter must be smaller than ¼ inch.
- The puncture cannot overlap any previous repairs.
If these conditions are not met, the tire cannot be repaired and will need to be replaced.
Any puncture or damage to a tire can impact its performance, making proper Detroit tire repair essential
An improperly repaired tire may fail at high speeds, potentially leading to a loss of vehicle control. Sharp objects on the road can easily cause a flat tire, and any damaged tire should be inspected and repaired by qualified professionals. To ensure a thorough inspection, the tire must be removed from the wheel to check for hidden damage, which could weaken the tire. Punctures in the tread area may also affect the inner sidewall, causing further damage.
How to Tell if Your Tire Needs Repair or Replacement
- Punctures, cracks, or cuts
- Uneven tread wear
- Worn-down tread wear indicator bars
- Bulges or blisters, which indicate weak spots
- Stones or debris lodged in the tread
