Can a tire with a cut still be repaired?
1 Answers
A cut on the sidewall of a tire cannot be repaired. Of course, this also depends on the depth of the cut. If the cut is not deep, it can be repaired, but if it is deep, it is recommended to replace the tire promptly. Damage to the tread of the tire can generally be repaired as long as it is not too severe. A tire can be repaired for a hole up to 6 millimeters deep. If the cut on the tread exceeds 6 millimeters, there is no need to repair it, and the tire should be replaced immediately with a new one. Because the gap is too large, even if the tire is repaired immediately, during driving, especially during sharp turns or aggressive maneuvers, the cut may worsen, posing a more serious safety risk. Tires are the components of a car that come into direct contact with the ground and play a crucial role in the vehicle's operation. They support the weight of the vehicle, work with the suspension to absorb shocks during driving, ensure a comfortable ride and smooth handling, maintain good traction between the wheels and the road, and improve the car's traction, braking, and off-road capabilities.
