So you have a Tesla Tyre puncture and need to find out if we can repair it, despite having foam sound deadening. Not all Tesla tyres are fitted with sound deadening. The purpose of the sound deadening is to reduce the road noise by approximately 9 decibels. Therefore, the foam has no influence on the tyre handling, braking or durability. So the foam is solely designed to reduce noise.
In response to your question 'can my Tesla tyre with foam sound deadening be puncture repaired?' fortunately, the answer is yes. Your foam sound deadening Tesla tyre can be puncture repaired. However, this is only possible if the puncture is in the centre 3/4 of the tyre surface.
Whereas, if the puncture is outside this threshold, it is deemed an unsafe repair as it is too close to the tyre sidewall. As a result, we cannot puncture repair the tyre because that part of the tyre is under more load. To do the repair we have to drill a hole into the tyre, which as a result, would weaken the tyre structure when we repair it.
After Your Puncture Has Been Repaired
Once we have repaired your tyre, we will need to balance it to ensure there are no vibrations coming from the wheel. Our electric vehicle specialist mechanics can provide you with wheel balancing services. Find out more about this by contacting us today.
What if Your Tesla Tyre Puncture Cannot be Repaired?
If we cannot repair your Tesla tyre puncture, we can replace your tyre with a like for like tyre. We will ensure that your new tyre also has sound deadening, as not all makes do.
If your tyre pressure warning light was active, this can be easily reset in the service menu on your MCU (media control unit). For more information on our tyre and alignment services, click the button below.
