How to Repair Tires
If your tire has a puncture, it is possible to repair it depending on the size and location of the puncture. Here are the steps to repair a tire:
- Identify the puncture: If you notice a nail or any other object stuck in your tire, it is likely the cause of the puncture.
- Remove the object: Carefully remove the object from the tire, making sure not to cause any additional damage.
- Assess the damage: Examine the tire to determine the size and location of the puncture. If it is larger than 1/4 inch or located on the sidewall, it is not safe to repair and the tire should be replaced.
- Prepare the tire: Use a tire rasp or a piece of sandpaper to roughen the area around the puncture, allowing the patch to adhere better.
- Apply the patch: Apply rubber cement to the area around the puncture, then place the patch over the hole and press firmly to ensure a good seal.
- Reinflate the tire: Use an air compressor to reinflate the tire to the recommended pressure.
- Check for leaks: Spray the repaired area with soapy water and look for any bubbles, which would indicate a leak. If there are no bubbles, the repair is successful.
While it is possible to repair a tire yourself, it is recommended to have a professional tire technician at Audio Vision in Upland, CA, handle the repair to ensure it is done correctly and safely.
