Can a deformed rim still be used?
1 Answers
Deformed rims should not continue to be used. Here are the hazards after deformation: 1. When a car tire is fully inflated, the outer edge of the tire will tightly fit with the rim flange to prevent gas leakage from the tire. 2. If the rim flange is deformed due to collision, it will affect the tightness with the outer edge of the tire, causing slow leaks. Therefore, car owners should pay attention to avoiding collisions with the rim during daily use to prevent rim deformation. 3. If the tire wobbles, it will affect the dynamic balance and may cause vibrations at higher speeds. 4. If the steel rim is slightly deformed, the impact on air tightness is not significant, but there are always negative effects.
