Can a small bulge in a tire be repaired?
1 Answers
Tires with small bulges cannot be repaired and should be replaced promptly to prevent the risk of a blowout. A tire bulge occurs when the internal cord layers are damaged, causing uncontrolled air pressure inside the tire. This results in uneven force distribution on the outer tire, with the areas under higher pressure protruding to form a bulge. This is a common sign of tire wear. If not addressed in time, the bulge can suddenly rupture due to increased rolling speed or excessive friction heat, leading to an explosion. When a tire bulges, it indicates damage to the internal cord layers, which is irreparable, necessitating immediate tire replacement. Car tires are one of the essential components of a vehicle, directly contacting the road surface and working with the suspension system to absorb shocks during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth operation.
