Flat Tire Repair Policy

Safe Tire Repair You Can Trust

A flat tire doesn't always need to be replaced. At Road Runners Tire Shop, every flat tire receives a thorough inspection before any repair is performed. Our technicians inspect both the inside and outside of the tire to determine whether it can be safely returned to service.

If the tire meets industry repair standards, we'll perform a professional repair. If it does not, we'll explain why replacement is the safest option.

Our Commitment to Safety

Road Runners Tire Shop follows industry-recommended tire repair practices to help protect our customers and their families.

Every tire is evaluated individually because not every puncture can be repaired safely. A tire that has been improperly repaired or has sustained structural damage may fail without warning.

Your safety always comes before saving a tire.

Every Tire Is Inspected

Before any repair is performed, we:

• Remove the tire from the wheel.
• Inspect the inside of the tire for hidden damage.
• Evaluate the puncture's size, location, and overall condition.
• Check for previous repairs, sidewall damage, run-flat damage, belt separation, and other structural issues.

Many unsafe conditions cannot be detected from the outside alone.

Repairable Area

Road Runners Tire Shop repairs punctures only within the repairable tread area.

To qualify for repair, the puncture generally must be at least 1/2 inch (13 mm) away from the shoulder where the steel belts begin.

Repairs are never performed in the shoulder or sidewall because these areas flex excessively and cannot be safely repaired.

Repair Size Limits

Road Runners Tire Shop repairs punctures no larger than:

1/4 inch (6 mm)

Punctures larger than this limit, irregular cuts, tears, or damage extending into the steel belts require tire replacement.

Proper Repair Procedure

Every approved tire repair includes:

• Internal inspection
• Injury preparation
• Installation of an appropriate repair using either a patch, a plug, or a combination patch-plug, as determined by the technician and industry standards
• Sealing of the repair
• Tire inflation and leak testing
• Rebalancing, when necessary

This process provides the safest, most reliable long-term repair possible.

Tires That Cannot Be Repaired

A tire cannot be safely repaired if it has:

• Sidewall punctures
• Shoulder damage
• Cuts larger than 1/4 inch (6 mm)
• Belt separation
• Exposed cords
• Run-flat damage
• Excessive internal damage
• Previous overlapping repairs
• Dry rot or structural deterioration

If any of these conditions are found, our technician will recommend tire replacement.

Free Flat Tire Repair

Road Runners Tire Shop proudly offers FREE flat tire repair on repairable passenger and light truck tires, regardless of where they were purchased.

Free repairs are available only when the tire meets all applicable safety guidelines and is considered safe to repair. If your tire cannot be repaired safely, we'll explain why and provide honest replacement options with no pressure or obligation.
