How to Clean Stones on Car Tires?
2 Answers
Stones on car tires can be cleaned using the following methods: 1. Use a stone removal hook to clean; the hook can pull out stones stuck in the tire. 2. Use a small screwdriver to remove stones from the car tire. When cleaning stones on the tires, car owners should avoid using car keys to prevent damaging them. Stones on car tires need to be cleaned regularly. If not cleaned in time, the hazards are as follows: 1. Increased noise while driving; 2. Affected drainage performance, reducing tire grip; 3. Increased risk of tire blowouts; 4. Stones are prone to splashing.
Every time I go for a car wash, I also clean out the small stones stuck in the tires. This not only reduces the annoying rattling noise but also prevents the stones from embedding too deeply, which could wear down the tires or cause air leaks. I use a car key or a small screwdriver I bought, squat down, and carefully pry out the stones lodged in the tire treads, making sure to do it gently to avoid scratching the rubber. The key is to do it regularly—I recommend checking once a week, especially after driving on gravel roads. Don’t forget to ensure the car is parked securely and turned off before cleaning—safety first. After cleaning, the driving experience becomes much quieter and smoother, extends tire life, reduces the risk of unexpected blowouts, and saves money on tire replacements in the long run.
