Flat Tire Puncture Repair

Flat tires can occur when sharp objects, such as nails or glass pieces, puncture the tire, creating an air leak. When it comes to tire repairs for road hazards, not all punctures are equal. The size, depth, and location of a puncture determine whether the tire can be repaired or if it needs to be replaced. Generally, punctures that ¼ inch in diameter or smaller and located in the tread area can be repaired. However, if the puncture is on the sidewall or shoulder of the tire, repair may not be possible due to the flexing that occurs in these areas, which can lead to a high risk of tire failure. The tire's overall condition is also important; if a tire has significant wear, damage, or has already been repaired multiple times, it may not be a good candidate for further repair. The team at South Lakes Sunoco will inspect your tire, and repair it if it is eligible.

Flat Tires Due to Other Causes

Tires can also lose air from a faulty or deteriorated valve stem, which can lead to slow leaks, or from the tire bead not sealing properly against the rim. This issue can arise from corrosion on the rim or from damage that prevents a tight seal, causing air to slowly seep out. Temperature changes also play a role; cold air can cause the tire pressure to drop as the air inside the tire contracts with lower temperatures. Small impacts, such as hitting a curb or pothole, can also cause immediate loss of air or damage that leads to gradual air loss.
