Automotive Tips from Advantage Auto Repair & Transmisson: When to Replace a Damaged Tire

Repair or Replace? That’s a question Tucson drivers ask when they have tire damage. Some punctures cannot be repaired because of their size or location.

And sometimes there is internal damage revealed on inspection that indicates the tire should not be repaired.
