Driving on a flat tire can damage the tire and wheel.
Road debris, punctures and air leaks can also lead to
sudden pressure loss. Knowing how to respond can help
you protect yourself and your vehicle.
01
Tip 01 · Tire Punctures
Small Punctures May Be
Repairable
Some punctures can be repaired safely, depending on
their size, location and the tire's condition. If you
experience a flat, pull over somewhere safe and arrange
professional inspection instead of continuing to drive.
Tip 02 · Tire Pressure
Low Tire Pressure
Needs Attention
Underinflated tires can affect handling, fuel economy
and tread wear. Check pressure when it is safe to do so
and follow your vehicle manufacturer's recommendations.
Do not drive on a visibly flat tire.
Safety comes first. If your vehicle has a
flat tire, stop in a safe location away from moving traffic
and seek roadside assistance if needed.

Repair or
Replacement?
Many punctures can be repaired, but not every damaged tire is
safe to repair. A trained technician should inspect the tire
to assess the location and extent of the damage.
Repair may be possible when a puncture is within the permitted
tread repair area and meets the tire manufacturer's repair
criteria. Damage to the sidewall, shoulder or internal
structure may require replacement.
Inspect the puncture location and tire condition.
Use an approved repair method when suitable.
Replace tires when damage makes repair unsafe.
Safety first: Do not drive on a flat tire.
Stop in a safe place and arrange roadside assistance or
professional tire service when needed.
