Service overview

WHAT TO KNOW

A punctured tire must be removed from the wheel and inspected internally before repair. Suitability depends on the damage location, size and tire condition. Shoulder or sidewall damage and damage from driving flat can rule out repair.

When to have it checked

  • Repeated loss of tire pressure
  • A nail or other object in the tread
  • A tire that becomes visibly low

Planning your service

Avoid driving on a flat tire. Use suitable roadside assistance or a spare according to your owner’s manual.
