A puncture to your tyre is a problem no matter its size, and some can go far beyond being fixed with a simple kit. Most car owners will experience a tyre puncture at some point and it’s likely to be at the most inconvenient of times too, like on your way to work or the school run which is why you need them fixing as soon as possible.
Although annoying, a punctured tyre is a very common problem for many drivers. Punctures can occur for many reasons, with the most common being cars driving over sharp objects, into a kerb or over a pothole in the road at a high speed. However, factors like a leaking valve stern, a worn-out tread or a collision can also create a hole in your tyre.
Slow punctures are not always noticed straight away, but there are certain ways of finding out if your car has one. If your vehicle feels slightly wobbly or your steering wheel shudders, this can be a sign; as well as if your car is difficult to steer or it pulls towards a certain direction. Also, many newer cars will have a warning sign on the dashboard if there is any drop in tyre pressure.
Not only are punctured tyres a huge inconvenience but ignoring one can lead to further damage. Driving on a slow puncture any further than necessary can be quite dangerous and soon become a fully flat tyre. If you choose to drive on an under-inflated tyre as a result of the puncture, the tyre pressure may not withstand the car’s weight and cause the tyre to blowout completely. Driving with a puncture can ultimately make the tyre need replacing due to damage and of course increased cost. It can also damage your wheel and even suspension if the tyre goes flat while driving.
