A puncture is never convenient. For a farmer working against the weather or a truck driver trying to keep a delivery on schedule, a flat tyre can bring the whole day to a standstill.
The good news is that a puncture doesn’t always mean you need a new tyre. Knowing what to do and getting the problem checked properly can help you get back on the road or back to work safely.
Don’t Keep Driving on a Flat Tyre
It can be tempting to drive a short distance to find help, but continuing to drive on a flat or severely underinflated tyre can cause additional damage.
The tyre can become damaged internally, meaning a simple puncture may turn into a replacement that could have been avoided.
If you’ve noticed a sudden loss of pressure, unusual handling or a visible object in the tyre, it’s best to stop and have it inspected.
Can Every Puncture Be Repaired?
Not necessarily.
Whether a tyre can be repaired depends on where the damage has occurred, how serious it is and the overall condition of the tyre.
A professional inspection is the safest way to determine whether a tyre puncture repair is suitable or whether replacing the tyre is the better option.
