How to Detect a Car Tyre Puncture: Signs and Solutions

Curious about identifying a potential puncture in your car tyre? Look out for these key indicators, even if the tyre hasn't completely deflated yet. Early detection is crucial, and here are the signs to watch for:

 

1. Difficulty in steering: Notice a gradual decrease in steering responsiveness? It could be a result of a slow puncture affecting your tyre's inflation.

 

2. Unsteady or shaky feeling while driving: Experiencing an unsettling wobbly or shuddery sensation during your drive? It could be an indication of tyre damage.

 

3. Pulling to one side: If your vehicle tends to veer left or right unexpectedly, it may be due to a puncture located on one side of the tyre.

 

4. Audible ticking noise: Listen closely for a ticking sound as your tyres rotate. It could be a result of a nail or screw embedded in the tyre, making contact with the road.

 

At Belmont Tyres, we offer comprehensive puncture repair services that prioritize the safety of your tyres. Our expert technicians not only fix the puncture but also install a new valve and perform wheel balancing. Wheel balancing is particularly important after a repair, as the wheels have been removed from the vehicle and need proper adjustment to ensure even weight distribution as the tyres rotate.
