Advantages and Disadvantages of Mushroom Plug Tire Repair?
1 Answers
Using mushroom plugs for tire repair is more effective than other materials, but it still cannot fully restore the tire to its original condition or eliminate all risks, as broken steel cords are irreversible. Here is an introduction to mushroom plug tire repair: 1. Principle of Mushroom Plug Tire Repair: Mushroom plug tire repair refers to a mushroom-shaped repair material consisting of a connected cap and stem. Its principle and form are similar to internal patching, mainly relying on the connected cap to seal air leaks and the stem to block foreign objects from entering the wound from the outside, providing dual protection. 2. Restricted Areas and Applicability of Mushroom Plug Tire Repair: Mushroom plugs must not be used on the tire sidewall or within 10 cm left or right of the tire shoulder midline. Open wounds (clear holes) on the inner wall of the tire crown with a size of 3~6 mm, a difference ≤2 mm, and an angle ≤15 degrees are suitable for mushroom plug repair, which offers advantages over patch repairs.
