Puncture Repair - Car Tyres, Van, 4x4s
Repairing a punctured tyre can be more cost effective than replacing it.
However, not all tyres can be repaired. Tyre repairs are covered under British Standard BSAU159f:1990. This standard sets out what kind of tyre damage can be repaired.
A tyre should not be repaired if it has:
- An illegal tread depth (the minimum tread depth is 1.6mm)
- Run flat damage
- An ageing or deteriorated tyre rubber
- Bead or liner damage
- Exposed cords
- Faulty or poor previous repairs
Generally most punctures can be repaired providing the tyre passes the BSAU159f:1990 inspection. Make sure your puncture is repaired by a trained professional.
