Getting a flat tire is one of the dreaded occurrences that happen to us as drivers. It’s a frustrating and crushing moment when you notice a flat tire on your vehicle or feel the tell-tale bumpiness and lowering on one side of your vehicle. Your tires are specially designed to deliver traction, comfort, and safe travels for many miles. Under ideal conditions, tires may last from 20,000 miles to 50,000 miles or more. Road debris, curbs, and potholes, sharp objects, can easily lead to punctures and leaks that could be detrimental to the effectiveness of your tires. Driving on a flat tire is not recommended. Only do so in extreme circumstances. The longer a driver uses a flat tire, the more unlikely it becomes that a tire repair service can be performed. At Cox Tire, LLC, our expert mechanics can service, repair, or replace your tires at an affordable cost to you. We proudly service the tire repair needs of customers in Lexington, SC, West Columbia, SC, Gilbert, SC, and surrounding areas.
If your tire is flat, it is important that you get it repaired as soon as possible. If you’re driving on a tire that continuously loses air or has a puncture, it can greatly affect the safety of your vehicle. Seeking timely tire repair service can help you avoid purchasing a new tire prematurely. Driving on the tire while it is punctured or has insufficient pressure can cause severe damages to the tire and rim and lead to expensive repair cost.
If you experience a flat tire while driving, put on your hazard lights, slow down, and try to get off the road safely. Pull off onto the shoulders of the highway as far away as possible from ongoing traffic. Replace the flat tire with a spare, and visit us for flat tire repair service, or if you don’t have a spare or are unable to change the tire, call to have your vehicle towed to our auto repair shop.
If you have a flat tire, continuous driving for long distances will damage the tire beyond the possibility of repair and jeopardize your safety. A flat tire will not have the same traction or control as it does when it is inflated and can cause you to lose control and get into an accident. Have your car towed to avoid internal structural damage, or worse, an accident.
Most flat tires are repairable. We will remove it from the wheel assembly, remove the penetrating object, plug the hole and patch the inside of the tire, making it good as new. When a tire loses a significant amount of air pressure, it’s what is referred to as flat. This can occur for many different reasons, such as a defect, improper air pressure, a puncture, a leaking valve stem, tire bead leak, or extreme temperatures.
