Hi, was wondering if I should change my tyre. Few months ago my tyre got punctured and since then already fixed with rubber. But recently I realised that the same tyre keeps running out of air and when I bring it to check the old puncture is letting out some air. Then after fixing it with rubber, the tread looked a bit swollen as in the picture. Is the tyre warrant for a change? Thank you in advance for your answers.

I would keep using the tyre, whilst monitoring its pressure occassionally.

Ignore the ppl that ask u to keep using it. It's already not repairable. Since it keep leaking. It's a tear than a puncture.
Plus your tires one more mm going to hit the minimum mark. Just change new, don't risk it and get stranded. |

I would ignore your 'tear and not repairable' theory only if it keeps leaking air in use .Plus your tires one more mm going to hit the minimum mark. Just change new, don't risk it and get stranded. OP's only criteria, IMO, is whether or not air pressure is reasonably retained in use.Period. |

For me, I will change to a new set of tires for a piece of mind.

QUOTE Just because the puncture has occurred in the minor repair area, doesn’t necessarily mean it can be mended. British standard BSAU159 also defines the maximum size of the damaged area in order to carry out a safe repair. So if the diameter of the damaged area is larger than 6mm, a repair should not be attempted. This means it may be possible to repair a tyre that has been pierced by a nail or a screw, but if the damage is caused by a larger item such as a bolt or other metallic debris, the tyre may need to be replaced. This also means that tyre damage such as splits, cuts and gouges cannot be repaired. Reference IMHO TS better send in your car to nearest tyre shop for inspection, safety still comes first on the road yo (Sorry I do not have super brain to measure the damage size through image -Update- QUOTE 6. Don’t overlap repairs. If a new puncture is in the same place as an existing repair, then the tire should be replaced. Don't have it repaired. Just to further convince TS to send in your car for inspection. Reference This post has been edited by Cyclipse: Jun 11 2019, 09:42 AM |

Sorry, i am unable to view your picture. Normally if serious patch, some tire shop will use inner rubber patch with add on adhesive to help secure & prevent air-leak. Hope this help.
