Can a car tire with a piece of outer rubber missing be repaired?
1 Answers
Tire missing a piece of rubber can be repaired as long as the cord layer is not damaged. Below is relevant information about tires: 1. Wear: Tires have wear indicators. There are triangle marks on the sidewall of the tire; when the wear reaches the point indicated by the triangle mark, it is recommended to replace the tire. Inside the tread grooves, there are also raised markers; when the wear reaches the level of these raised markers, the tire should be replaced. Simple punctures can be repaired, and replacement is not necessary. However, bulges must be replaced. 2. Aging: Rubber oxidizes in the air, and oxidized rubber becomes hard, reducing grip. Therefore, even if a set of tires is not used, its lifespan will decrease. It is not recommended to use tires for more than 5 years from the production date. The production date can be found on the sidewall of the tire.
