Factors That Cause Tyre Puncture and Tips on How to Avoid Them

Punctures occur most frequently when sharp objects such as nails or glass penetrate the tyre, letting air escape through the hole. Below are some possible causes of punctures and how to prevent them:

Road hazards – If you’re driving on the road with potholes, uneven pavement, and debris, do your best to avoid them at all costs.

Valve stem breakage – The valve stem is the tiny tyre protrusion used to inflate your tyre. It is prone to wear and tear. Air leakage occurs when the valve stem becomes loose, blocked, corroded or broken. It is important to inspect and repair or replace your tyre’s valve stem while inspecting your tyres.

Worn tyres – Inspect your tyres for wear, as this tends to make them more prone to punctures, unexpected loss of inflation, and increased braking distance, all of which can lead to major accidents.

A collision that separates the tyre and rim – The frequent cause of tyre and rim separation is a tyre colliding with the pavement. This results in a gradual loss of air over time and requires the assistance of an experienced tyre expert.

Over-inflated tyres – Excessive tyre pressure is hazardous. If you hit a pothole, your tyres will be more vulnerable to punctures because they will be stiff and inflexible, making them more likely to burst.

Signs That You Need Puncture Repair

The severity of a tyre puncture depends on the form of the damage and the extent of penetration. The following signs may indicate a tyre puncture:
