Generally, if a tire's puncture exceeds six millimeters in size (approximately the width of a little finger visible to the naked eye), even if the tire is expertly repaired, it should not be used on highways due to the significantly increased risk of a blowout. Below are relevant details: 1. Tire Maintenance: After driving a certain distance, promptly inspect the condition of your tires. If any issues are detected, repair or replace the tire immediately to eliminate potential safety hazards before highway driving. 2. Advantages of Mushroom Plug Repairs: Mushroom plug repairs are often referred to as the 'nobility of tire repairs,' renowned for their high cost and excellent effectiveness.
