Tyre Patching (External)
External tyre puncture repair is a method used to address certain punctures without removing the tyre from the wheel. It may be suitable for eligible punctures caused by objects such as nails or screws, depending on the puncture’s location, size, and the tyre manufacturer’s repair guidelines.
A puncture can cause gradual or sudden air loss, reducing tyre pressure and affecting vehicle handling. Having a puncture assessed promptly helps determine whether the tyre can be repaired safely or needs replacement.
Not all punctures are suitable for external repair. Damage to the tyre’s sidewall or shoulder, large punctures, and damage involving the internal structure may require a different repair approach or tyre replacement. An external repair method also does not replace the need for an internal inspection when one is required to determine the tyre’s condition.
After a puncture is assessed, the appropriate repair method should be selected based on the tyre’s condition and applicable repair standards. Proper tyre pressure should also be checked to help maintain safe driving conditions.
In summary, external puncture repair may provide a practical solution for suitable tyre punctures. Having the damage assessed promptly helps determine the appropriate repair method and maintain tyre safety.
