Must a small cut on the side of a tire be replaced?
1 Answers
The side of the tire has a small cut. Theoretically, if only the surface rubber is damaged, the cut is small, and the internal materials are not affected, it can continue to be used. However, in practice, regardless of the size of the cut, as long as there is damage to the sidewall, it is recommended to replace it directly. Below is relevant information about tires: 1. Introduction: A tire is a circular elastic rubber product mounted on various vehicles or machinery to roll on the ground. Typically fitted on metal rims, it supports the vehicle body, absorbs external shocks, ensures contact with the road, and maintains driving performance. 2. When to replace a tire: One method is to pry open the damaged area on the sidewall to see if the cord fabric is visible. If it is visible, replace the tire immediately without hesitation.
