Cuts are not repairable if they are deep enough to have cut into one of the steel belts inside of your tire. Also, puncture repairs are limited to holes of 1/4″ or less in diameter. Or, on tires with tread patterns that don’t have circumferential grooves, no closer than 2 inches to where the shoulder meets the sidewall.

This area is on the tread face of the tire, between the outermost circumferential grooves (grooves that wrap all the way around the tire). If you run over a nail or other road debris and it punctures your tire, there is a specific area of the tire where a repair is possible.
