Under normal circumstances, a tire should be replaced directly after being patched 3-5 times. Below is additional information: Tire puncture leaks: When a tire has a puncture leak, even if it is repaired by patching, the puncture site remains the weakest area of the tire. Over time, especially when driving in rainy conditions, water can seep into the puncture site, eventually causing the leak to reappear. Therefore, when a tire has 3-5 punctures, it has generally reached its service limit. Precautions for replacing tires: Since replacing a tire alters the balance between the tire and the wheel rim, an unbalanced wheel can cause severe vibrations at high speeds, compromising driving safety. Hence, it is essential to perform a tire dynamic balance after replacement. If the tire sidewall or shoulder is punctured, it is definitely irreparable. Different tire brands have varying manufacturer regulations or recommendations regarding the number of patches allowed, but at least one repair is possible unless the puncture diameter is too large. Patching a tire twice is not impossible, but the location of the second puncture is crucial. If it is less than 40 cm from the first patch or forms an angle of less than 90 degrees from the center, it is advisable to replace the tire with a new one.
