Repairable damage
Small tread-area punctures with an intact casing are usually repairable using a proper internal patch-plug, fitted with the tire off the wheel so the inside can be inspected. Outside plugs pushed in from the tread face are not a permanent repair.
Not repairable
Sidewall and shoulder damage, cuts and bulges, and tires driven on while flat all mean replacement. On an EV carrying this much weight, that is not a judgement call worth gambling on.
Acoustic foam complicates things
Where a tire has a foam layer bonded inside, the foam must be handled correctly to reach the liner and patch it properly. Some shops simply refuse; we check what is inside and tell you honestly whether a sound repair is possible.
Bring it in
We inspect, tell you whether it can be repaired, and if it cannot, show you appropriate replacement options for your car — including single-tire replacement.
