How Long Should the Interlayer Air Be Drained After Tire Repair?
2 Answers
After tire repair, the interlayer air should be drained for 1-2 days. The following is an introduction to related content about car tires: 1. Cushioning impact: Car tires are one of the important components of a vehicle, directly in contact with the road surface, and together with the car suspension, they cushion the impact experienced during driving. 2. Comfort: Ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving, maintaining good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, improving the vehicle's traction, braking, and passability, and bearing the weight of the car. The following are extended details about tire pressure: 1. Function of low-pressure tires: Low-pressure tires are mainly used for private cars. 2. Function of high-pressure tires: High-pressure tires are mainly used for large freight or passenger vehicles. 3. Tire pressure: The tire pressure for cars running at high speeds is 2.5 kilograms per cubic centimeter.
I've been repairing cars for many years, and the topic of trapped air between tire layers after a puncture is quite common. In practice, this isn't about how long to wait, but rather about immediately removing it during installation. Mechanics use a compressed air gun to blow it out in seconds. If not fully removed, the tire may become uneven or vibrate when driving, affecting balance. I've encountered owners complaining about strange noises, only to find it was due to incomplete air removal causing poor contact between the rim and tire bead. If you're DIY patching, prepare simple tools to manually remove the air—don't expect it to dissipate naturally, as that could take days and might damage components. By the way, tire temperature and pressure changes also affect sealing. After repair, recheck tire pressure for uniformity to ensure safe driving. Don't cut corners; addressing it promptly prevents future issues.
