You can drive on the highway after just patching a tire. If the tire has been punctured and then patched, and it meets the safety requirements for tire repair with qualified operation procedures, it is safe for highway driving. Situations that require tire replacement before driving on the highway include: 1. The puncture wound is larger than six millimeters; 2. The same spot has been punctured multiple times and then patched; 3. The punctured area is on the tire sidewall; 4. The tire has been patched more than three times. Car tires are one of the important components of a vehicle, directly in contact with the road surface and working together with the car suspension to absorb shocks during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving performance. They also ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, improving the car's traction, braking, and off-road capability, while bearing the weight of the vehicle.
