Tire Repair or Replace? A Phoenix Driver’s Guide to Flat Tires
Dealing with a flat tire in Phoenix? Before spending more than you need to, learn whether your tire can be repaired or if replacement is the safer option. At Mil Amores Tire Shop, we help Valley drivers make the right call every day.
When a Flat Tire Can Be Repaired
If the puncture is less than 1/4 inch wide and located on the tread (not the sidewall), chances are your tire can be repaired. Our team uses professional patching techniques to get you back on the road safely and affordably.
When You Should Replace the Tire
Replacement is the best choice when:
- The damage is on or near the sidewall.
- The puncture is too large or there are multiple holes.
- The tread is too worn down to ensure traction.
We offer both new and used tire replacements to fit any budget.
