| | or to replace a tire | Explanation:
This EN is very poorly written!
My understanding is that it is "...an intervention to correct... (or) to replace..."
As for "one of the same", this is just a really clumsy way of avoiding repeating 'tire'.

There is also either 'or' or at least a comma missing after "...tires", which doesn't help comprehension!

"to correct the pressure in the tires or to replace one of them"
is really all they needed to have said — I strongly suspect a non-native writer!
