Puncture Repair in Ely, Cambridgeshire on VW Tiguan
We went out to a customer in Ely who had called the office about a puncture in their off-side rear tyre on their Volkswagen Tiguan.
We will always check to see if we can repair a puncture but we also carry a potential replacement on board just in case we can't. In this case we took a Bridgestone S001 with us in a 235/55R17.
If you have a puncture and you're unsure if it is repairable, see below for the required criteria for a repair:
- The puncture must be no more than 6mm in length/diameter
- It must be inside the repairable zone - this is the middle ¾ of the tread
- There must be no secondary damage caused - this includes sidewall deterioration, splits or cuts on the inner liner due to the object that has punctured the tyre and also no bulging on the sidewall.
- The entry angle must allow for the stem and patch repair system to be safely applied
- The tyre also needs to be in a suitable condition and age with a legal amount of tread remaining
If you have a run flat tyre we will be unable to repair these.
If you have a puncture in the Cambridge area call us on 0333 444 5454!
