Can a small puncture on the side of a tire be repaired?

A small puncture on the side of a tire cannot be repaired. The side of the tire is a weak area, and attempting to repair it may lead to dangerous situations while driving. It is recommended to replace the tire. Tires are often used under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and high and low temperatures during operation. Therefore, they must possess high load-bearing capacity, traction performance, and cushioning performance, as well as high wear resistance and flex resistance, along with low rolling resistance and heat generation. Tires are generally composed of three parts: the outer tire, inner tube, and bead. The inner layer of the tire has a rubber layer with excellent airtightness, gradually moving towards lightweight development. The outer tire mainly consists of the carcass buffer, tread, sidewall, and bead.
