Can a punctured tire be repaired?
1 Answers
If the puncture is on the sidewall of the tire, it cannot be repaired. The sidewall is relatively weak, and if it is damaged, it is almost impossible to repair. Continuing to use such a tire poses a risk of blowout and safety hazards. If the puncture is on the tread and the diameter of the hole exceeds 6 millimeters, it also cannot be repaired. Method for replacing a tire: Park the car in a safe location, turn on the hazard warning lights, and engage the parking brake. Place a triangular warning sign at an appropriate distance behind the car. Retrieve the spare tire, along with the wrench and jack from the vehicle. Remove the damaged tire and install the spare. Tire maintenance methods: Regularly remove stones stuck in the tire treads, minimize exposure to direct sunlight, check tire pressure frequently, maintain the suspension system, perform periodic front-wheel alignment checks, adopt careful driving habits, choose smooth road surfaces to avoid objects that could puncture or scratch the tires, and steer clear of chemical spills that may corrode the tires. Tire maintenance precautions: Perform a four-wheel alignment and tire rotation every 10,000 kilometers, check tire pressure regularly. Replace tires when the tread wear reaches the wear indicators. Inspect tires frequently to detect issues such as bulges, cracks, cuts, punctures, deteriorated valve rubber, or abnormal tire wear as early as possible.
