Does a slightly leaking tire have any impact?
1 Answers
A slightly leaking tire does have an impact. For driving safety, it is not recommended to continue driving. A slightly leaking tire is very harmful to both the tire and driving safety. If the problem is detected, it should be repaired and resolved promptly. Firstly, a slightly leaking tire is very prone to blowouts, and secondly, it can easily affect the adjacent tire. For a single tire, losing direction control is likely after a blowout. Below are the reasons for tire leakage: A slightly leaking tire may be caused by a nail or other sharp object puncturing the tire during driving, which was not removed in time, leading to slight leakage when the vehicle moves. In this case, it is necessary to replace the spare tire or drive at low speed to a repair shop or 4S store for assistance, and not to remove the nail by oneself. If the sealing between the rim edge and the tire contact surface is not good enough, it can also cause slight leakage. This can be checked by immersing the entire tire and rim in water to see if bubbles emerge. If this is confirmed, the rim needs to be removed and polished. If the above situations are ruled out, check if any foreign objects have entered between the tire and the rim, causing the rim to deform, crack, or mold. Rim corrosion is also a cause of slow tire leakage.
