Can a missing piece of rubber on a tire be repaired?

[MelanieRose]

A missing piece of rubber on a tire can be repaired. If a piece of rubber is scraped off the sidewall of the tire, it can be repaired using a special sidewall plug (commonly known as a "mushroom plug"). Benefits of mushroom plug repair: The advantage of using a mushroom plug is that it can repair the inner liner while also filling the puncture hole in the tire body tightly, ensuring a more durable repair effect. The sidewall of a tire is the most vulnerable to damage; although it may appear usable, it poses significant hidden dangers. For safety reasons, replacement is recommended. Tire precautions: If the missing rubber is on the tread of the tire and has not reached the wear indicator, and there are no abnormalities such as cracks or bulges, it generally does not require attention because this area will eventually wear out. However, if there are cracks, bulges, deformations, or a large missing piece of rubber, the tire should definitely be replaced.
