Can My Tire Repair Shop Fix This? 8 Signs You Need A Replacement
Before you waste time driving to your local repair shop, examine your tires for any of the following 8 signs of irreparable tire damage:
- The puncture is more than ¼ inch in diameter
- The cut/puncture is deep enough to have cut into one of the steel belts inside of the tire
- The puncture appears on the tire sidewall
- The puncture appears in the tire shoulder
- There are multiple punctures in your tire less than 16 inches apart from one another
- The tire has been repaired two (2) times already
- The tire is a durable run-flat that has been driven on with less than 15PSI
- The tire sides are bubbling out (typically caused by driving on a flat, hitting a pothole or curb at the wrong angle, or riding over railroad crossings too quickly)
If you detected any of these forms of tire damage, don’t worry—retreading solutions may be available, and if not, tire replacements are easy at your local TIRECRAFT.
