Where Can Tyre Punctures Be Repaired?

Puncture repairs are limited to the center of the tread area. If there are punctures or damage in the shoulder or sidewall of the tire, it is not repairable.

How much does it cost to repair a tire puncture?

On average, tire puncture repair will cost you between $10 and $20. The repair will involve getting the tire patched. Some tire dealers will repair a punctured tire for free if you purchased your tire from them.

What tire punctures can be repaired?

If there's more than one puncture, you likely can get the tire repaired if the punctures are at least 16 inches apart. Otherwise, it's time to buy a new tire. If the tire has sustained serious damage in a crash, such as big cuts or tread separation, it should be replaced, not repaired. No ifs, ands, or buts.
