Can a Damaged Sidewall Be Repaired?

[KingDella]

The sidewall is the weakest part of a tire. Generally, once a car tire's sidewall is damaged, it cannot be repaired, which is different from damage to the tire tread. Secondly, whether to continue using the tire or replace it depends on the specific situation. The judgment methods are as follows: 1. During parallel parking, improper observation or operation may cause the tire sidewall to come into contact with the curb, resulting in damage. Such minor scrapes usually have little impact on the tire sidewall. If there is no significant surface damage, you can continue using the tire, but you must pay extra attention to its condition. Replace it immediately if air leakage occurs. 2. If you encounter potholes while driving at high speed and cannot avoid them in time, the tire sidewall may suffer significant pressure and tear. In this case, replacement is strongly recommended. 3. When low-profile tires are impacted, the sidewall may bulge. A bulging tire poses a serious safety hazard, as it can blow out at any time and compromise driving safety. Therefore, it must be replaced.
