As the part of our vehicle that is most in contact with the road, our tires go through a lot and are subject to damage. If you are looking for tire repair near Markham, Ontario, MINI Markham’s service centre can help. Below, we’ve covered types of tire repair, run-flat tires, and what can cause damage to your tires. Read on and schedule your repairs at our service centre.
The roads we drive occasionally have debris, potholes, and other surprises that can damage your tires. Uneven terrain can cause damage to your tires because it stretches your tires in ways tires normally don’t go. If you drive over a pothole or uneven terrain too fast, you risk damaging your tire. Sometimes there’s debris on the road. It might be from nearby construction or some scattered gravel. These all have the possibility of being sharp enough to puncture your tire.
Run flat tires allow you to drive even after your tire has been damaged. There is a specific kilometrage these tires last for, be sure to check your manual. They can be repaired as long as the damage isn’t too severe.
There are two parts to tire repairs, a tire plug, and a tire patch. A tire plug is a quick fix that prevents air from leaking from a small puncture hole. The plug refills the whole. Generally, to ensure the tire plug holds, the plug is paired with a tire patch applied to the inside of the tire. A tire patch is what it sounds like—a patch that is applied to a tire to hold the tire plug in place. The patch prevents the plug from falling out and adds some additional stability to the repair. Using both allows the tire to hold air more reliably and last longer.
