Is it a problem if a piece of the tire's front side is missing?
1 Answers
Tire front side missing a piece is problematic, and replacement is recommended. Below are relevant details: 1. Overview: Normally, the sidewall of a tire bears force evenly, but if a section of the outer rubber is chipped off, the load-bearing capacity of that area significantly decreases. In summer, as tire pressure increases with driving and road temperature, this damaged area may fail to withstand the immense pressure, leading to a potential blowout at any moment. 2. Precautions: During vehicle use, tires may frequently encounter impacts. When a tire is damaged, it's essential to stop immediately for inspection. If necessary, proceed to the nearest repair shop for fixes to prevent blowouts during use, which could result in safety incidents.
