Can a Tire Blowout from Hitting a Pothole Be Repaired?
1 Answers
Tire blowouts caused by hitting potholes cannot continue to be used, as the blowout has severely damaged the tire sidewall and compromised the internal structure of the tire. Additionally, it is important to note that such blowouts cannot be repaired. Even if repaired, continued use poses significant safety hazards, and replacement is strongly recommended. Additional information: Other situations where repair is not possible: sidewall damage; puncture holes in the tread exceeding 6mm in diameter; damaged or deformed bead; tread deformation; rubber corroded by chemicals; tire damage from running flat. Precautions: Before setting off, carefully check tire pressure, tread condition, sidewall bulges, and overall tire wear. While driving, avoid speeding or overloading to prevent blowouts due to excessive tire stress. Furthermore, when encountering potholes or uneven road surfaces, try to avoid them if possible; if unavoidable, slow down and proceed with caution.
