How Long Can a Patched Tire Last?
1 Answers
As long as the safety requirements for tire patching are met, using qualified patching products and following proper procedures, a patched tire can be used indefinitely without a specific lifespan. Additional information: 1. Severe underinflation: When a vehicle moves or is driven for a period with insufficient tire pressure, the internal components of the tire, such as rubber, can wear out due to compression. In such cases, the tire must be completely removed to inspect for internal grooves caused by compression. If there is significant powdering or visible grooves, the tire must be replaced to avoid the risk of high-temperature blowouts. 2. Aging tires: Over time, tires age and may shed internal powder. Depending on the tire's age and condition, replacement may be necessary.
