Should You Repair or Replace a
Tire?
If You Have a Flat Tire
Taking Care of the Unexpected
Inflate the tire:
Plug the hole:
Tubeless tires have
some self-sealing ability if they are
punctured and the result is usually just a
slow leak. If this is the case, you can try
inflating the tire to see if it will hold air
pressure. If you can see a nail or other
object embedded in the tire tread, do not
remove it at this time.

something to temporarily stop the leak.
If you have a tubeless tire repair kit,
you can pull out the nail and try
insertinganexternalpluginthe
puncture. Follow the instructions that
came with the repair kit and be sure to
inflate the tire to the correct pressure.
We strongly recommend that you replace,
not permanently repair, any tire that is
punctured or damaged, even if the tire has
only a minor puncture. For a full
