Can a Flat Tire Be Repaired?

[JocelynRose]

Tires must first be removed from the rims after a flat and inspected by a professional tire dealer to determine if they can be repaired. A tire can be patched if the puncture does not exceed 6mm, and the repair will not affect the tire's lifespan. Here is some information about tires: 1. Tire Specifications: Tire specifications are marked data indicating parameters and performance. Generally, a set of numbers represents the tire specifications, with the first number indicating the tire section width and the latter number indicating the rim diameter, both in inches. The letters or symbols in between have special meanings: "x" denotes high-pressure tires; "R" and "Z" denote radial tires; "-" denotes low-pressure tires. 2. Tire Rolling Direction: The tread pattern is crucial for drainage and anti-skid during driving. Therefore, off-road tires with asymmetric patterns often use arrow markings to indicate the assembly rolling direction, ensuring designed adhesion, anti-skid, and other performance characteristics. 3. Tire Batch Number: A set of numbers and letters indicates the manufacturing date and quantity of the tire. For example, "98N08B5820" represents the 5820th tire produced in August 1998 by group B. The batch number helps identify the tire's age and storage time.
