No, Discount Tire does not plug tires.
Instead, they use a safer and more reliable method called the patch/plug combo repair, which is performed from inside the tire.
Why Discount Tire Doesn’t Use Plugs Alone
Tire plugs (inserted from the outside) are quick fixes but not always reliable long-term. Discount Tire avoids them because:
- Plugs can fail under pressure or heat
- They may not fully seal the damage
- They don’t allow techs to inspect internal damage or tire structure
What Discount Tire Does Instead
✅ Patch/Plug Combo Repair (Industry Standard)
- The tire is removed from the rim
- The inside is inspected for damage, puncture size, and location
- A rubber stem plug fills the hole, and a patch seals it from the inside
- Ensures a safe, permanent repair
Will Discount Tire Repair Any Puncture?
Not always. They will only repair:
- Punctures 1/4 inch or smaller
- Located in the tread area
- Tires with no sidewall or internal damage
They won’t repair:
- Sidewall damage
- Large or multiple punctures
- Tires worn below safe tread depth
Final Thoughts
No, Discount Tire doesn’t plug tires—they use the safer patch/plug combo method.
This approach ensures your repair is safe, durable, and meets industry standards. It’s part of their commitment to customer safety and long-term tire performance.
