December 4, 2025

When Tire Repair Makes Sense


Not all tire damage requires replacement. Minor punctures in the tread area can often be safely repaired if addressed early.


Repairable Tire Damage Includes


  • Small nail or screw punctures
  • Damage within the tread area
  • Slow leaks discovered quickly


When Tire Repair Is Not Safe


Certain types of damage compromise structural integrity and require replacement.

Unsafe Repair Situations


  • Sidewall punctures
  • Shoulder-area damage
  • Large or irregular holes
  • Driving on a flat tire


How Professional Tire Repairs Work


A safe repair restores the internal structure of the tire.


Proper Repair Process


  • Tire removal and internal inspection
  • Patch-plug installation
  • Inner liner sealing
  • Pressure testing and rebalancing


Why Las Vegas Roads Increase Puncture Risk


Construction zones, freeway debris, and desert terrain increase exposure to sharp objects.
