How to Deal with a Bulge on a Car Tire?

1 Answers

Drive slowly within 300 meters to a repair shop for replacement. If a bulge appears on the car tire, it indicates that the internal cords have broken. Continuing to drive will affect driving safety, especially under high temperatures and continuous driving, which can easily lead to a tire blowout. Apart from installation and tire manufacturing reasons, most tire bulges are caused by external forces during use, leading to localized cord breakage in the tire sidewall. The main situations include: 1. The tire suffers a significant impact: driving over potholes, speed bumps, or other uneven surfaces at high speed. 2. Driving with long-term insufficient tire pressure: low tire pressure can compress the cord layers, causing fatigue and eventual cord breakage during driving. 3. Parking on uneven surfaces for extended periods: parking with the tire on a curb can gradually damage the tire cords, leading to bulges.

Is oil on the wheel hub a sign of brake fluid leakage?

Reasons for oil stains on the wheel hub: 1. Loose sealing nut: If the fixing nut is not tightened properly or is too tight, it can cause oil leakage. Always check the nut if oil leakage is detected. Especially, if the oil drain plug on the oil pan is not tightened, it can easily lead to oil loss, potentially causing severe engine damage such as "bearing seizure." 2. Aging or cracking of the sealing oil seal: The oil seal is a mechanical component used to contain oil. If the oil seal is not installed correctly, causing misalignment between the shaft neck and the oil seal edge, oil leakage can occur. 3. Wheel hub oil splatter: Excessive lubrication grease (butter) in the wheel hub can lead to excessively high bearing temperatures, resulting in oil splatter during vehicle operation.

What does the plus and minus sign light on the car mean?

The plus and minus sign light on the car indicates that the vehicle is charging or there is a malfunction in the dashboard system, requiring prompt repair. Car dashboard indicator lights are divided into the following three categories: 1. Indicator lights: The most common lights encountered during normal driving, such as light signal indicators, turn signal indicators, parking lights, etc. Their function is to indicate the status of various vehicle functions. 2. Warning lights: Warning lights serve an alerting function, such as fuel indicators, door status indicators, seat belt indicators, etc. Generally, warning lights turn off after the driver performs the corresponding action, such as the seat belt indicator, which turns off when the seat belt is fastened. 3. Fault indicator lights: Fault indicator lights are also the most important indicators, such as generator fault indicators, ABS fault indicators, transmission fault indicators, etc.

Does uneven tire pressure affect the car?

Uneven tire pressure can lead to reduced braking effectiveness, loss of vehicle control, increased fuel consumption, difficulty or heaviness in steering, and can shorten the lifespan of the tires. It also increases the risk of tire blowouts. These issues become more severe when the vehicle is heavily loaded, so it is essential to ensure that all tires have consistent pressure before driving. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the recommended tire pressures are as follows: Standard tires: 2.4-2.5bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9bar; Maximum pressure: should not exceed 3.5bar. In winter, tire pressure should be slightly increased by about 0.2bar above the standard tire pressure. Generally, the lower limit of the standard tire pressure is sufficient. For example, the lower limit for standard tires is 2.4bar. If the car is often parked outdoors, the tire pressure can be about 0.1bar lower than the standard to prevent blowouts due to high temperatures.

Does changing car rims affect the annual inspection?

Changing car rims does not affect the annual inspection. According to the regulations on safety technical inspection items and methods for motor vehicles, as long as the tires and rims installed on both sides of the vehicle are of the same model, with complete accessories, and the rim size and model match the motor vehicle registration information, there will be no problem. The annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and driving licenses, equivalent to an annual physical examination for vehicles based on the safety technical conditions for motor vehicle operation. Rims, also known as wheel rims or steel rings, are automotive parts that serve as the central part of the wheel where the axle is installed. They are important components connecting the brake drum or brake disc, wheel disc, and axle, working in conjunction with the tires to support the wheel and also determine the specifications of the tires.
