- Nail or screw puncture: This is a common type of puncture where a nail or screw penetrates the tire tread.
- Sidewall puncture: This type of puncture occurs on the sidewall of the tire, which can be more challenging to repair and may require tire replacement.
- Bead puncture: A bead puncture happens when the tire’s bead, which seals the tire to the rim, is damaged.
- Valve stem puncture: This occurs when the valve stem, which allows air to be added or released from the tire, is damaged or leaking.
