If your tyre becomes damaged, it may be repaired if:

•   The tyre has not been driven on when flat 
•   The damage is only on the tread section of your tyre (sidewall damage ruins a tyre immediately) 
•   The puncture is no greater than 6mm

How is a tyre properly repaired?

•    The tyre is demounted and inspected internally as well as externally. It is then patched from the inside and the puncture hole is filled.
•    Do not have your tyre plugged. A plug is simply inserted into the punctured area, making it unreliable.

Tyres should be repaired by a tyre professional.
