Puncture location
British Standard BSAU159 also defines the requirements for safe minor car tyre puncture repair and its proximity to the sidewall. To remain compliant, we are only able to carry out tyre repairs to the central ¾ of the tyre (known as the minor repair area). If the puncture is situated outside of this area it is deemed too close to the sidewall to guarantee a safe and lasting minor repair.
Major and minor repair
areas
This is correct for minor puncture repairs. for damage thats outside the minor area or holes that are too large you can get specalist repairs done this more expensive but works out far cheaper than a new tyre. It involves bonding new rubber into the damaged area using a heat treating process called vulcanising.
