Not all punctures can be repaired safely. Damage in the tread area is often repairable, while punctures near the sidewall or shoulder usually compromise the tyre’s structure. Driving on a flat tyre can also cause internal damage that is not always visible from the outside. A proper inspection looks for internal wear, separation or overheating that could affect safety later on. Repairing a tyre correctly helps restore air retention and stability, while knowing when replacement is necessary avoids blowouts and handling issues. Understanding these limits helps drivers make informed decisions about tyre safety.
