[ "Nobody wants to get a puncture, especially since a flat Tyres Hanley will almost always occur when least expected.It makes sense that, when a puncture occurs, you prefer to try fixing the tyre rather than replacing it, especially if you recently bought the offending tyre. Kwik Fit will always attempt to patch a punctured tyre, but there are some circumstances in which this is simply not possibleLearn when you can and cannot repair your punctured tyre by reading onThe location of the perforation;The auto tyre repair procedure follows the British standard (BSAU159). This standard specifies the conditions necessary for a minor tyre repair to be secure and the distance from the sidewallWe can only repair the central third of a tyre in order to comply with regulations. Even in case of a slow perforation, it is presumed too near to the sidewall if the hole is located outside of this region to ensure a secure and long-lasting minor repairWhy then is it impossible to repair the tyre&#39;s sidewall? The sidewall is the area of the tyre that bears the heaviest load while in use. An air drill prepares the affected areas when a minor puncture in a tyre is repaired. Although completely safe when applied to the tyre&#39;s minor repair area, the procedure may potentially weaken the sidewall&#39;s structural integrityThe sidewall of the tyre experiences the most flex, which increases the likelihood that a repair patch placed there will separate due to the increased movement and fail the tyreIt is crucial that you avoid driving on a flat tyre (unless it is a run-flat tyre) in order to increase the likelihood that it can be repaired because the sidewall is not a minor repair area. When driving, the sidewall of the tyre will be severely damaged when it is pinched between both the wheel rim and the pavement due to a lack of air pressure to maintain its shapeTherefore, even if your puncture is in the minor repair area, it might not be repairable if you start driving on the deflated tyre because of additional damage to the sidewallThe inability to repair run-flat tyres;Run-flat tyres have reinforced sidewalls, allowing you to continue driving after getting a puncture for a short distance so you can get to safety, whether that be your house or the closest tyre shopRun-flat tyres have obvious safety advantages because, in the incident of a puncture, the tyre can still be driven on, allowing the driver to maintain control of the vehicleThis is not to say that run-flat tyres do not require air; rather, you should seek assistance as soon as you can if you experience a punctureSadly, when a run flat tyre develops a puncture, it can be difficult to determine whether the integrity of the tyre wall has been compromised since the punctured tyre may have been driven on for an extended period of time or at excessive speeds (over 30 mph). However, the run flat tyre&#39;s added strength can conceal this damage. Due to the possibility that the tyre will no longer be safe to use, we are unable to perform minor repairs on run flat tyresThe extent of the damage;It&#39;s not always possible to repair a puncture, even when it happens in a minor repair area. In order to perform a safe repair, the maximum length of the damaged area is also specified by British standard BSAU159. Therefore, if the damaged area&#39;s diameter is greater than 6mm, you should fix it. This means that a tyre that has a puncture by a nail or a screw might get a repair, but if the damage was due to a larger object like a bolt or other metallic wreckage, the tyre might need a replacementAdditionally, this implies that tyre damage like splits, cuts, and gashes cannot undergo any fixThe state of the tyre;The UK&#39;s legal limit for tyre tread is 1.6mm across the middle 34 of the tread&#39;s width. you should not try to repair it because the tyre is no longer functional if there is less than 1.6mm of tread residing anywhere on the Tyres Werrington circumference or if the sidewall has bulging or exposed cordsDriving a car with tyres that are under the legal limit is not only illegal, but it also poses a serious safety hazard. Along with a high risk of a blowout, heavily worn tyres will cause your car to brake more slowly, especially in wet weather when braking performance is already subpar" ]
