Can a slightly bulged tire be repaired?
2 Answers
Tire with slight bulge cannot be repaired. The bulge in a car tire is usually an internal injury, which is different from being punctured. If you notice a tire bulge while driving and it's not very severe, you can slowly drive to a repair shop or 4S store for handling. If you have a spare tire, it's safer to replace it with the spare and drive to the 4S store. Car tires are one of the important components of a vehicle, directly contacting the road surface. Together with the car suspension, they help cushion the impact during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving performance, as well as maintaining excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road surface.
I remember one time when I was driving on a trip by myself, I noticed a small bulge on the front right tire halfway through. I didn’t pay much attention and kept driving for a while, but then I felt the car was a bit unstable, which scared me into stopping to check. A friend told me that this was due to broken tire cords, meaning the structure was damaged and couldn’t be repaired. If I had continued driving, it could have led to a tire blowout and an accident. Later, I replaced the tire—it cost some money, but I felt much safer. A reminder to everyone: don’t ignore bulges when you spot them. Always drive carefully to avoid potholes and speed bumps, and regularly check your tire pressure to keep it within the normal range. This can extend your tire’s lifespan and prevent similar issues.
