- The puncture is strictly in the center tread area.
- The diameter of the puncture is 1/4 inch (6mm) or less.
- The tire was not driven on flat, preserving the internal inner liner.
- Repaired exclusively using a combination patch and rubber stem plug from the inside.
When a Tire Must Be Replaced
- Punctures in the tire shoulder or sidewall.
- Cuts, tears, or slices that severed internal steel cords.
- Tires driven flat where the sidewall was chewed into black rubber dust.
- Bulges, bubbles, or tread separation.
We make the final call when we see the tire - some damage is only visible from the inside.
