Tyre Puncture Repairs
Tyre puncture repairs in Cheddar, Somerset
Do you think you have a puncture?
Your tyre may not be flat, but there are several signs that it may have a puncture:
- Steering is becoming difficult - this is usually due to the tyre slowly deflating because it has sustained a slow puncture
- The car is feeling wobbly or shuddery when driving
- The car is veering to one side
- A ticking noise - If the tyre has a nail/screw in it it may make a noise as it comes into contact with the road
We will check your tyre to determine if it can be repaired (which often they can). A puncture can only be repaired where the following criteria is met:
- The puncture has occurred within the repairable zone (central three-quarters of the tyre).
- The puncture is no more than 6mm diameter or length.
- There is no other damage.
- There is not more than one puncture within each quadrant of the tyre. (W, Z and Y speed rated tyres can be repaired to a maximum of three times).
- The entry angle of the puncturing object does not allow for safe and proper seating of the stem and patch.
- The tyre is of a suitable condition and age with appropriate tread depth.
