Does surface damage on car tires have any impact?
1 Answers
If only a very small portion of the surface skin on the side of a car tire is scraped off, and the depth is shallow, being just surface damage, it will not affect the tire's strength structure. Below is relevant information: 1. Tire precautions: The structure, strength, as well as usage pressure and speed of tires are strictly calculated and determined by manufacturers. Not adhering to standards and overloading tires will affect their service life. According to experiments by relevant departments: When overloaded by 10%, tire life is reduced by 20%; when overloaded by 30%, tire rolling resistance increases by 45%-60%, and fuel consumption also increases. Moreover, overloading itself is strictly prohibited by traffic laws. 2. Severe situations: Tires may undergo significant deformation, at which point the internal critical component, the cord, may break under excessive compression and stretching, leading to tire bulging and increasing the risk of a blowout.
