Can my tyres be repaired if they have suffered a puncture?
At Direct Mobile Tyres Nottingham, we understand that repairing a puncture is more cost-effective than replacing it, especially if the tyre still has plenty of usable tread remaining.
You can rely on our team in Nottingham to give you an honest appraisal of your punctured tyre and if it can be repaired or not.
Every puncture repair our team carries out follows BSAU159 regulations which stipulate that:
Tyres can only be repaired in the area marked green on the diagram below
For tyres with a speed rating of 'V' or above, only one repair is allowed
With any puncture repair, the tyre should be inspected and if any of the following are identified then it should not be repaired:
Illegal Tread Depth: Below 1.6mm across the central 3/4 of the tyre tread throughout the entire circumference.
Run Flat Damage:Any breakdown of the tyre's structural integrity, either inside or outside.
Secondary Damage: Caused by the puncturing object
Poor Tyre Condition: Any deterioration of the rubber due to ageing
