Can a small chunk missing from the tire sidewall be repaired?
1 Answers
If a chunk is scraped off the tire and the cords are damaged, it cannot continue to be used. Below are precautions regarding tire usage: 1. Method to determine cord damage: Check whether the cords are damaged by visually inspecting the tire wound for exposed white threads. If white threads are visible, the cords are damaged. Another detection method is to increase the tire pressure by 1-2 kg above the standard pressure, drive briefly to raise the tire temperature, and observe whether the wound changes or bulges. If there is no change, adjust the tire pressure back to the standard value, and the tire can be used for short-distance urban driving. 2. Precautions: Slow down when passing over potholes, speed bumps, or other uneven road surfaces; avoid speeding or overloading; and refrain from sharp turns, rapid acceleration, emergency braking, or driving over curbs.
