Does Tire Patching Affect Driving on Highways?
1 Answers
Tire patching is acceptable for highway driving. Here are some details about driving on highways with patched tires: 1. Conditions: Tires repaired at authorized 4S stores can still be used. However, due to factors such as the quality of the tire repair or aging of the patch over time, air leakage may occur. If you continue to drive at high speeds without realizing this, prolonged driving with low tire pressure could cause sidewall damage, leading to tire failure. Therefore, patched tires pose certain safety risks compared to intact tires. 2. Recommendation: For the sake of highway driving safety, it is generally recommended to move patched tires to the rear axle or use them as spare tires. This can minimize the potential negative impact of compromised tire performance on highway driving safety.
