Tire Puncture Repair
Repairing A Flat Tire

Flats are no fun but don’t let one overwhelm you.

First, determine how seriously your tire has been damaged. Many punctures can be repaired. In cases where there is damage to the tire’s sidewall it will have to be replaced as a repair cannot be performed without high risk of damage to the internal structure of the tire.

Repairing a tire with minor damage requires dismounting the tire and patching it from the inside.

Caution: Tire changing can be dangerous and should be done by trained personnel using proper tools and procedures.

When you have questions, we have answers. A + Tire & Battery does everything for less, but we always provide you with all of the facts you need to make smart, educated decisions to help you choose the very best tires and wheels to suit your needs.

Understanding Tire Markings
Tire sizes for both passenger vehicles and light trucks are usually represented by a combination of numbers and letters printed on the sidewall – including a mandatory U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) approval code.

Original Equipment Approval Code
All tires must have a DOT, Department of Transportation number which indicates the tire has passed all minimum DOT standards for sale in the U.S.

Uniform Tire Quality Grading (UTQG) Marking
The Department of Transportation requires each manufacturer to grade its tires under the Uniform Tire Quality Grade (UTQG) system which establishes ratings for tread wear, traction and temperature resistance. These tests are conducted independently by each manufacturer following government guidelines that provide a comparison between the manufacturers’s tested tire and a control tire.

Tire Size Markings
The tire size shown above is 225/50R16. The 225 represents its section width. The number “50” indicates the tire’s aspect ratio. The last number, “16” indicates wheel diameter.

•Section Width
Section Width is the width of the tire from one sidewall to the other sidewall in millimeters. This tire in the example above is 225 millimeters wide.
•Aspect Ratio
Aspect Ratio is the ratio of the sidewall height to the section width. The sidewall height of example tire above is 50% of its section width.
•Wheel Diameter
Wheel Diameter specifies the size, in inches, of the wheel that a tire fits. The example tire will only fit a 16-inch wheel.
Other Tire Markings

•Construction
The “R” refers to the example tire’s “radial” construction. Radial tires have layers of fabric whose cords run at right angles to the circumference of the tire and whose tread is strengthened by additional layers around the circumference.
•Load Index
Load Index indicates the tires Load Carrying Capacity. The example tire’s Load Index is 92, which means it can carry loads up to 1389 pounds.
•Speed Rating
Speed Rating designates the maximum speed at which a properly installed and inflated tire may be driven. The example tire’s Speed Rating is V, which means it can be driven at speeds up to 149 mph.
