Can a Nail Puncture on the Tire Edge Be Repaired?

[LaCassidy]

No, because the sidewall of a tire is thinner than the tread, and once the sidewall is damaged, the risk of a blowout increases significantly. For safe driving, it is recommended to replace the tire. When using tires, pay attention to the following: 1. Increase awareness of tire safety: Regularly inspect tires, especially before highway driving, ensuring thorough checks. Besides tire pressure, observe for any cracks on the sidewalls and the condition of tread wear. Address any potential hazards promptly. 2. Regularly correct wheel balance: Excessive wheel imbalance can cause high-frequency vibrations at high speeds, leading to uneven tire wear and compromising driving safety. After tire repairs, perform dynamic balance testing and adjustments. The single-side dynamic balance test value should be ≤40 grams. 3. Rotate tires periodically: To ensure even wear across all tires on a vehicle, perform tire rotation every 5,000 kilometers and a four-wheel alignment every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers to prevent abnormal or excessive wear. Do not install tires of different models or with significant differences in wear on the same axle.
