We’ve all been the victim of a flat tire at least once in our lifetime. How do you know if a tire can be repaired or if it should be replaced? Repairing Your Tire If a puncture or damage occurs in the center of the tread area, the tire can be repaired. We use a patch plug kit in most tire repairs which is the best method for safe tire repair.  However, suppose the damage to your tire is extensive in the sidewall or shoulder of the tire. In that case, it isn’t repairable and needs to be replaced. Using TPMS For Replacing Your Tire  You will more than likely need a TPMS repair kit when replacing your tire. This stands for Tire Pressure Monitoring System. In newer vehicles, this feature monitors tire pressure & will alert you on your dashboard if there is an issue that needs to be addressed. Changes in air temperature can cause tire pressure to drop temporarily, which may cause the TPMS sensor to alert you. Typically, you will know if the issue is due to air temperature, as all of your tires will probably be lower than average.    Learn More Today Learn more about tire repair and TPMS by visiting our website for more
