Can a Bubbled Tire Still Be Used?
1 Answers
It cannot continue to be used. Continuing to drive with a bulged tire can easily lead to a blowout, compromising driving safety. Below is relevant information: 1. Tire bulging: This mainly occurs on the sidewall of the tire, primarily due to the tire violently hitting curbs, large rocks, speed bumps, etc., causing the tire's cord layer to break and resulting in a bulge. If a tire has been bulging for a long time, combined with exposure to high temperatures and high-speed driving, it is very prone to blowout accidents, which are extremely dangerous. 2. Wear indicators: Tires have wear indicators. There is a triangular mark on the sidewall of the tire; when the tread wears down to the point indicated by the triangle, it is recommended to replace the tire. Inside the tire's tread grooves, there are also raised markers; when the tread wears down to the level of these raised markers, the tire should be replaced. A simple puncture can be repaired and does not require replacement. However, a bulge must be replaced.
