Can the sidewall of a tire be repaired with hot vulcanization?
1 Answers
The sidewall of a tire can be repaired with hot vulcanization if the damage is minor, but severe damage requires a tire replacement at a professional shop. Below are 6 key aspects of tire maintenance: 1. Tire Rotation: Rotate tire positions every 10,000 kilometers to evenly distribute tire fatigue, prevent uneven wear, and extend tire lifespan. 2. Wheel Alignment: Check every 30,000 kilometers. Changes in wheel alignment parameters can cause abnormal tire wear. 3. Tire Pressure Check: Inspect tire pressure monthly. If tire pressure drops too quickly, visit a local tire shop for inspection to avoid further damage. 4. Tire Balancing: Prevents steering wheel vibration at high speeds. If the steering wheel vibrates above 70 km/h, perform a tire balancing check immediately. 5. Tread Depth Inspection: Replace tires when they wear down to the tread wear indicators. Driving with tires beyond these indicators in wet conditions is extremely dangerous due to significantly reduced drainage and compromised wet traction. 6. Rubber Condition: Over time, rubber ages and cracks. If aging or cracking is detected during inspection, replace the tires promptly.
