Is there a bulge on the sidewall of the tire?
1 Answers
Tire bulges require replacement, whether they occur on the sidewall or the tread, as they pose a risk of blowout and should not be used further. A bulging tire indicates that the internal cords have broken. The cord layer is the skeleton of the tire, and if the cords break, only the rubber remains to prevent air from escaping. Additionally, the sidewall is inherently weak, so when the tire pressure is too high, the bulging area is prone to rupture. The following conditions make a tire unrepairable: 1. Damage to the sidewall cannot be repaired. 2. A puncture hole in the tread with a diameter exceeding 6 mm cannot be repaired. 3. If there is damage or deformation to the bead, tread deformation, rubber corroded by chemicals, or damage caused by running the tire flat, it cannot be repaired. 4. The tire has a bulge.
