There are many hazards that can make tires less effective and more of a danger to drivers and passengers. It is not uncommon for a sharp stone, nail, or other pointed piece of debris to puncture a tire, causing a flat. Depending on the size of the puncture in the tire, it may deflate slowly, or it may go flat very quickly.
A flat tire can also happen when the tire tread has been significantly worn down by normal wear and tear and can no longer hold air properly. A leak or malfunction in the valve stem is another common culprit for a flat tire.
No matter what has caused your flat tire, here at Bruce's Tire, our tire experts will:
Some instances of tire damage cannot be safely repaired. This is usually the case when there is a large cut or puncture in the tire, especially in the sidewall. When this has happened, or if your tires are overly worn, it’s time for tire replacement. When you need a local tire store for new tires, look no further than Bruce's Tire.
You can shop for tires on our website by tire size, vehicle, or even with your license plate number. Browse our inventory of thousands of tires and compare specifications, brands, and costs before you buy—you can be confident that you’re receiving the best tires for your needs and budget.
We also frequently have tire deals and coupons available straight from the manufacturers to help make a new set of tires even more affordable.
Because flat tires are dangerous to use, motorists are advised to only drive on them in extreme circumstances—such as when they need to reach safety on a busy highway.
It is also important to note that the longer a driver uses a flat tire, the less likely it is that a tire repair service can be performed. This is because riding on a flat tire for too long can cause irrevocable damage to the tire. As the tire deflates, the wheel comes into closer contact with the ground, potentially damaging the rim.
Tire repair is time sensitive! The sooner you are able to bring in a slightly to moderately damaged tire for repair, the more likely it is that the tire can be saved.
So, if you have a tire that is losing air, use your spare tire and bring your damaged tire to our tire shop location nearest you for service.
When you need tire repair, you want to be confident that the job is done properly and that you can rely on the safety of your tire. At Bruce's Tire, we can ensure that this is the case. The methods used by our service staff to repair a tire comply with the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA). The RMA states that a flat tire can be repaired if the puncture is located on the tread of a tire and the puncture is ¼ inch or smaller. They recommend that the tire repair procedure involves a plug and a patch on the lining of the tire.
A plug and a patch can add thousands more miles to a damaged tire. For a punctured tire, our staff will patch, plug, or seal the damaged area. If your tire is losing air due to valve stem damage or if the tire is not securely attached to the wheel’s rim, our tire repair service staff will be able to help with that as well.
Ultimately, repairing your tire helps to keep you safe on the road and can save you money in the long run. You can count on our team of tire experts for high-quality, professional tire service to help keep your tires in their best condition.

Of course, when you have a damaged tire and need professional tire repair, our expert technicians have got you covered. But we also aim to help extend the life of your tires through proper maintenance.
We offer high-quality tire maintenance services at each of our convenient Bruce's Tire locations, including:
Regular tire rotation service is one of the easiest and most effective ways to help maximize your tires’ lifespans and ensure your vehicle is as safe on the road as possible. This service also gives our technician the chance to thoroughly inspect your tires for any issues that may hinder tire performance.
Rotating your vehicle’s tires involves alternating their position on the vehicle from front to back, one side to the other, or a mix of both, depending on the type of vehicle and how they were previously rotated. Some types of tires should be rotated at specific mileage intervals, while others should be rotated based on tread wear.
The benefits of regular tire rotations include:
Our technicians can properly and efficiently rotate your tires and will let you know if any of them are no longer roadworthy.
During your tire rotation service, we will:
Because they are more susceptible to uneven tread wear, we recommend having new tires rotated at the 5,000-mile mark. Beyond that, tires should be rotated every 6,000 to 8,000 miles. This will ensure that your tires wear more evenly and extend their lifespans.
A good habit to follow is having your tires regularly inspected, rotated, and inspected again during regular oil and filter changes.
Maintaining the proper, even distribution of weight around each wheel assembly is very important. A weight imbalance in any of your wheel/tire assemblies can wear down your tires unevenly and cause a vibration in your vehicle.
Our wheel and tire balancing service includes removing each wheel assembly, mounting it on specialized balancing equipment, pinpointing exact locations of any weight imbalances, correcting them, and remounting each wheel/tire assembly.
The most common indicators of a wheel imbalance include:
An out-of-balance front tire will usually cause a vibration in your steering wheel, while a rear-wheel imbalance will usually cause a vibration in your seat.
If you’ve noticed any of the red flags above, visit your closest Bruce's Tire location today for professional tire balancing service.
Also referred to as the TPMS, this system measures air pressures or rotational speeds of your tires to determine if they have the proper air pressures. It is very important to be sure this system is working properly since most tire failures are caused by underinflation. If one of your TPMS sensors is not working or there is another problem in the system, we can take care of it.
When you need a local tire shop, visit the team here at Bruce's Tire for unmatched customer service and complete auto care. From tire repair to new tire installation, and everything in between, we offer a full range of professional tire services to meet your needs.
