A tyre should not be repaired if the damage is outside the central tread area, if the sidewall is affected, or if the puncture is too large. Repairs are only safe when the tyre meets specific safety criteria, so the team will always assess whether a repair is suitable or if a replacement is the safer option.
If the damaged area on the tyre is larger than 6 mm, and on the sidewall, you should not get a repair and rather opt for a replacement tyre.
We can usually repair punctures if they are on the central part of the tyre (the middle three-quarters). If a puncture occurs outside this area and near the tyre sidewall, a repair is unlikely and you should get it replaced.
