Is it safe to drive on a patched tire on the highway?
1 Answers
A patched tire can be used on the highway, but the method and location of the repair are crucial. If the requirements are not met, it may affect the safety of high-speed driving. Here are detailed explanations about tire patching: Principle: The principle of car tire patching is to use glue for vulcanization (the bonding of rubber relies on vulcanization, including the combination of the tire tread and the tire body), so that the patch chemically bonds with the tire rubber layer to cover the hole. Method: Cold patch glue can bond the patch and the tire without heating, so it's not necessary to apply too much glue during patching—just the right amount is sufficient. Hot patching is required when non-cold patch glue is used, and heating is necessary during the patching process to promote vulcanization, typically using an iron-like tool for heating.
