Is It Safe to Drive on a Repaired Tire on the Highway?
1 Answers
Driving on a repaired tire on the highway is not safe. Here are the specific reasons: 1. External patch repair: If an external patch repair was used, it is not recommended to drive on the highway after the repair. For example, plug repairs involve inserting a plug into the puncture to achieve the repair effect. When the vehicle is driving at high speeds, especially in summer, the tire temperature is high, and the tire pressure is significant, the plug can easily be ejected, which is very dangerous. 2. Internal patch repair: If an internal patch repair was performed, the car can be driven on the highway after the repair, but it is best to place the damaged tire on the rear wheel. Additionally, attention should be paid to not driving at excessively high speeds or for prolonged periods.
