How do we repair a punctured or flat tire?

Here’s our insight on repairing punctured tires effectively to ensure they stay sealed and safe. We follow industry guidelines for all truck tire repair services; we use R.E.P.A.I.R. to break down the steps:

1. Remove the punctured tire

The initial step involves figuring out the extent of the damage for which our experts remove the tire.

2. Evaluating the damage

With the tire off the rim, we closely examine the puncture to see how big it is and what angle it's at. We also check if the puncture caused any significant damage to the tire's cords or belts.

3. Preparing the tire for puncture repair

If the tire is in good enough shape to repair, we get it ready by cleaning up the damaged area. We use a carbide cutter to remove any damaged cords or belts caused by the puncture. Then, we clean and roughen up the inner liner to help the patch or plug stick better.

4. Applying vulcanizing fluid

We put the vulcanizing fluid through the puncture and onto the roughened part of the inner liner. After that, we let it air dry for 5-10 minutes.

5. Installing repair

We insert the one- or two-piece repair through the puncture channel and make sure the patch is firmly stitched to the inner liner using a tire stitcher. This ensures there's no trapped air under the repair. We also put a thin layer of rubber sealant on the over-buffed area of the inner liner and trim any excess repair to about ¼" above the tread surface.

6. Return to Service

The tire is now ready to go back on the rim, inflated, balanced, and mounted onto the vehicle.

Why truck tire repair and maintenance is important?

1. On-road safety

Flat tires can lead to severe accidents, as lack of air leads to imbalance, which makes your truck topple and hard to drive straight. Tires with proper tread depth and inflation levels provide better traction and control, reducing the risk of accidents, especially in adverse weather conditions and difficult-to-drive roads.

2. Timely repairs save cost

Replacement costs are much higher than truck tire repair costs. Hence, getting tires repaired timely is important to save on the cost of replacing them.

3. Improved fuel efficiency

Properly inflated tires improve fuel efficiency. Underinflated tires create more rolling resistance, meaning the engine must work harder and consume more fuel.

4. Load Carrying Capacity

Trucks are designed to carry heavy loads, and their tires play a vital role in distributing and supporting that weight. Ensuring that tires are in good condition and properly inflated helps maintain the truck's load-carrying capacity and stability.

FAQs

It's unsafe to drive on a flat tire. You should avoid going more than a short distance, like a few hundred yards. Moving slowly and staying away from the busy road is better until you can stop safely.

Where the tire is punctured and how bad the damage is usually determines whether you should fix it or buy a new one. If there is a small hole in the tread (not bigger than a quarter-inch or 6mm), a basic truck tire repair should work just fine. You should get a new tire in case of a puncture bigger than this or multiple punctures.

If your tire keeps losing air with no visible hole or puncture, it could be due to a slow leak around the valve stem, a damaged or corroded wheel rim, a damaged tire bead, or a problem with the tire's inner lining.

The service life of a truck tire depends on various factors, including the type of tire, the vehicle's usage, and maintenance. On average, a well-maintained truck tire can last anywhere from 3 to 6 years or more, after which it should be replaced.
