Understanding Tire Repair Services at Sunland Tire
Tires are constantly exposed to hazards that can compromise their effectiveness and pose risks to both drivers and passengers. It’s common for sharp objects like stones, nails, or debris to puncture a tire. Flat tires are dangerous to drive on, and it’s recommended that drivers only use a flat tire in extreme situations, such as moving to safety from a busy highway. It’s important to note that the longer a tire remains flat, the less likely it can be repaired. Driving on a flat tire causes additional damage, including potential rim damage as the deflated tire makes more contact with the ground. Tire repair is time-sensitive—bringing in a tire with light to moderate damage as soon as possible increases the chances of a successful repair.

Why Choose Sunland Tire for Tire Repair Services?
Our tire repair methods adhere to the guidelines set by the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA). According to the RMA, a flat tire can typically be repaired if the puncture is ¼ inch or smaller and located on the tire’s tread. The recommended repair method involves both a plug and a patch, which can extend the life of the tire by thousands of miles. For punctured tires, our experienced staff will use a combination of patching, plugging, or sealing the damaged area to restore its functionality. If your tire is losing air due to valve stem damage or issues with the tire’s fit on the rim, we are equipped to resolve those problems as well. Tire repairs not only keep you safe on the road but also save you money by avoiding the need for a full replacement.
