Whether you’re driving on off-road trails or navigating city streets, your tires are vital to your safety and vehicle performance. However, many drivers don’t realize when their tires are worn out or need to be replaced. First, we prepared the tyre using a carbide cutter to remove any damaged cords or belts and then cleaned and buffed to a rough texture for maximum repair unit adhesion.
Best Tyre Repair in East Sussex
Check the Pressure
When a tire gets punctured it is important to check the pressure immediately. This will help to prevent the tire from losing air, which can lead to a flat tire and unsafe driving. We find out the recommended pressure for your tires from the sticker on your driver’s door or from the owner’s manual. This step will ensure that the repair patch adheres properly to the buffed surface. This is the most important step to a successful tire repair in East Sussex.
Check the Tread
Tires are the only part of a vehicle that touch the road and play a critical role in a car’s handling and braking. Heavily worn tread can prevent a tire from performing as designed and can lead to unsafe driving conditions. Our regular inspections and frequent inflation will help you keep your tyres in good condition. We start by checking the tread, looking for any problems such as abnormal widening of the grooves or spaces between the tread blocks.
Remove the Puncture
While you may be able to fix a puncture yourself, it is best to take your car to a professional for a permanent tyre repair in East Sussex. We inflate to the recommended pressure using an air compressor or tire inflator. Then we inspect the surface of the tire and the valve for damage, use soapy water to see if bubbles are present around the puncture site, inspect the sidewalls and shoulder for damage including cracks and tears.
Repair the Puncture
While a repaired tyre in East Sussex is never as good as a new one, it can still provide a decent lifespan for the vehicle. This is especially true if the puncture was repaired using a cured plug/stem, which is bonded to the inner liner and through the injury channel using a cold chemical vulcanizing process. This helps to ensure that the puncture is filled, and that moisture and contaminants are kept out of the tire.
Inflate the Tire
We Park your vehicle so that you can reach the tire valves with an air hose. Use our tire pressure gauge to check the air pressure of each tire (remember that tires are inflated differently when they are cold and when you drive them). If the air pressure is low, inflate it with the air hose. Be sure to check the pressure of all four tires – one underinflated tire can cause your vehicle to drive roughly, increase wear on the tread and other areas, and waste gas.
Tighten the Lug Nuts
Whenever you change your Tyres Repair East Sussex, loosening the lug nuts with a wrench while the car is jacked up and then tightening them with the proper torque specification (found in the owner’s manual) can help prevent them from becoming loosened during normal driving. The lug nuts may also need to be loosened with a cheater bar for additional leverage if they are particularly tight.
