How to Deal with Small Stones Getting into the Wheel Brake Disc?
1 Answers
To handle small stones getting into the brake disc, you can accelerate, then brake hard, reverse and brake hard again, repeating this cycle several times. Below are the hazards of stones getting into the brake disc: 1. Increased noise: If small stones get into the brake disc, there will be significant noise while driving, which can be distracting for the driver and, in severe cases, affect their judgment of road conditions. 2. Impact on tire performance: The grooves on tires are designed for water drainage. When filled with small stones, the drainage effect is weakened. Driving on wet and slippery roads in rainy conditions may lead to skidding, compromising vehicle safety. 3. Risk of air leakage or tire blowout: If hard and sharp stones or metal fragments get stuck in the brake disc, they can puncture the outer rubber layer of the tire during high-speed driving, potentially causing a blowout.
