Repair Tire

The Tire Industry Association (TIA) defines the acceptable puncture repair area as the “crown” of the tire, approximately 1–1.5 inches in from each tire shoulder.

Patch-plugging a tire from the inside-out is the only safe way to repair a tire. String plugs are a temporary and unsafe repair, and they are not recommended by the TIA.

Replace Tire

A puncture outside the crown, either in the shoulder or the sidewall, can damage the belts and cables in the tire and compromise the tire’s structural integrity.

If a tire is punctured outside the crown area, then the tire must be replaced.

Virginia Tire & Auto follows the puncture repair standards set by the Tire Industry Association (TIA).

How many times can you patch a tire?

Generally, a tire can be patched up to 3 times before it must be replaced. But if the punctures are too close together or are located in the shoulder or sidewall, you must replace the tire.

Is driving on a repaired tire safe?

Yes, it is perfectly safe to drive on a properly repaired tire. The patch-plug repair that our technicians perform is considered a permanent repair. So unless you get a new puncture that is unrepairable, the tire should last its original expected lifetime.

My car has a flat tire and I can’t change it. Can you help?

Yes! We offer complimentary Roadside Assistance to all our customers for 365 days after their most recent service.
