Is my puncture repairable?

It's quite complicated actually. Whether the tyre is repairable or not depends on many factors, such as: The location of the puncture, size of the puncture, the condition & age of the tyre or whether or not the tyre is a runflat tyre.

A tyre can only be repaired if the diameter of the damaged area is less than 6mm and located in the central ¾ of the tyre. If the puncture is outside of the central ¾ it is deemed too close to the sidewall to promise a safe and long-lasting repair.

Sometimes it's better to go for a new tyre

Puncture repairs are only a temporary solution - there is still a chance that your tyre may start to leak air again, especially if you've repaired the same tyre once before.

It can be more cost-effective to go for a brand new tyre as it will most likely last longer than the old tyre and give you better performance depending on the tyre.

When should I get a new tyre?

You should get your tyres changed if you experience any of the following signs of damage:

Once the tyre tread has worn to the legal limit of 1.6mm.
If you hear a sqeaky humming sound caused by a chopped tread.
A puncture on the side of the tyre.
You can notice the lack of traction in your tyres due to tread wear.
If your tyre shows signs of ageing.
If the tyre is not suited for your vehicle.
Other reasons.

You should get your tyres changed if your punctured tyre meets any of the folling criteria:

If the puncture is located on the sidewall of the tyre.
Runflat tyres cannot be repaired.
