Puncture Repair
Repair or Replace?
A punctured tyre can catch you off guard—whether on your daily drive or during a long trip. But the big question is: should you repair it, or replace it?
That depends on a few key factors:
-
Size & location of the puncture
-
Extent of internal damage (often caused by driving on a flat)
At Koenic, we follow strict industry standards and work in line with major tyre manufacturers to ensure every repair is safe, effective, and reliable.
Can Your Tyre Be Repaired?
Repairable:
Punctures within the tread area, no larger than 6mm, with no internal damage.
Not repairable:
Punctures on the shoulder or sidewall—replacement is the safest option.

Our Tyre Repair Process
Your safety comes first. That’s why we carry out every repair with precision, ensuring your tyre keeps its original speed and load rating.
1
Inspection:
The tyre is removed from the wheel and carefully checked inside and out.
2
Plug & Patch:
If suitable, the puncture is sealed using a high-quality plug & patch system.
3
Refit & Balance:
The tyre is refitted, inflated, balanced, and mounted back on your vehicle for a smooth ride.
Important Tyre Repair Guidelines
-
Repair punctures as soon as possible—don’t delay.
-
Avoid “quick fix” temporary solutions—they aren’t safe for long-term use.
-
Never repair a tyre without removing it from the wheel—hidden damage can be dangerous.
Can Run Flat Tyres Be Repaired?
There’s a lot of confusion around run flats. The truth is: sometimes they can be repaired, but not always.
-
Possible: If the puncture is in the crown area and the tyre hasn’t been driven on while flat.
-
Not Recommended: Most manufacturers advise replacement once a run flat has been used deflated, due to possible structural damage.
For your safety, we recommend replacing damaged run flats.
