Remove the problematic tire from the vehicle. Soak the tire in soapy water to locate the damaged area. Roughen the damaged spot using a grinding wheel. Apply the tire repair patch to the damaged area. Set the dryer to 110 degrees and heat the patch for 3 to 6 minutes.

Last time I checked my car in the garage, I noticed cracks in the tires, which is quite common. The location of the cracks is crucial. If it's a small crack in the center of the tread, no more than a few millimeters wide, some professional tire shops can patch it up. However, if the sidewall is cracked, never attempt to repair it, as that area bears the most pressure and a patch could easily lead to a blowout. I recommend going straight to a reliable repair shop—they use hot patches or mushroom plug methods to fix small cracks, which are effective and affordable. Also, don’t forget to check for tire aging. Generally, tires last about five years, but frequent long-distance driving or exposure to high temperatures can accelerate cracking. Getting new tires is the safer choice—safety comes first. To prevent future issues, visually inspect your tires monthly for cracks and low pressure. Don’t wait until the cracks worsen; the risk of an accident becomes alarmingly high.
