Is it safe to drive on a repaired tire on the highway?
1 Answers
A repaired tire can affect highway driving safety. If the tire puncture exceeds 6mm, it should not be used on highways as this may lead to tire blowouts. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery that roll on the ground. Typically installed on metal rims, tires support the vehicle body, absorb external shocks, maintain contact with the road surface, and ensure driving performance. Tires operate under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and temperature extremes during use. Therefore, they must possess high load-bearing capacity, traction performance, and shock absorption. Additionally, they require excellent wear resistance, flex resistance, and low rolling resistance with minimal heat generation.
