Are Tire Repair Patches Safe?
1 Answers
Tire repair patches are relatively safe. Here are the relevant details: 1. Patch repair is currently a common tire repair method: It offers relatively high cost-effectiveness and simple operation. The effect is not as good as that of a mushroom plug, because the mushroom plug method is the most durable, but it is more expensive. Whether to use a mushroom plug or a patch depends on the extent of the puncture damage. If the tire puncture is large, a mushroom plug is better; if the tire puncture is small and shallow, a patch is more suitable. 2. The reason for choosing based on the damage condition: The working principles of mushroom plug repair and patch repair are different. A mushroom plug uses a rubber patch shaped like a mushroom. The repair involves locating the puncture from inside the tire, threading the mushroom stem through the hole, cutting off the exposed part outside, and then securing the inner part with special adhesive. The mushroom stem provides an external repair effect, while the mushroom cap acts as an internal repair.
