01Sidewall Damage
A cut, bulge, or crack in the tyre sidewall cannot be patched safely. The sidewall bears all the vehicle’s weight during cornering. Driving on a damaged sidewall risks a sudden blowout at any speed. Replacement is the only safe option for any sidewall fault.
02Tread Depth Below 1.6mm
UAE traffic law requires a minimum tread depth of 1.6mm across the full tyre width. A tyre worn below this limit fails to grip wet or sandy road surfaces. The technician measures tread depth with a gauge during every tyre change visit. A tyre below the legal limit must be replaced immediately.
03Blowout Damage
A tyre that blew out at speed has internal cord damage that no repair kit can fix. The inner structure tears when the tyre separates from the rim at high speed. Even if the outer casing looks intact, the internal damage is severe. Every blowout tyre needs a direct replacement.
04Large Puncture Over 6mm
A puncture hole larger than 6mm is outside the safe repair size limit. Plugging a large hole does not provide a durable seal under highway driving conditions. Continued driving on a large plug causes the repair to fail without warning. A new tyre is the only reliable solution for punctures above 6mm.
05Multiple Repairs on the Same Tyre
A tyre that has been patched twice in the same area has weakened internal layers. Each repair removes rubber compound from the tyre body. A third puncture in the same zone means the tyre needs replacing outright.
