Should a Damaged Tubeless Tire Be Repaired or Replaced?
1 Answers
Tubeless tire damage: If the damage is not severe, it can be repaired without replacement; however, if the damage is serious, replacement is necessary. Below are the relevant methods for repairing tubeless tires: 1. Slow air leakage at the tire's sidewall: This usually occurs due to prolonged tire usage or driving with insufficient or no tire pressure, causing the tire to fold and develop tiny pinholes finer than a hair strand. It may require inflation every four to five days, and the leak may not be detectable in water. The only repair method is to add a tire sealant, inflate the tire fully, tilt the wheel to allow the liquid and solid particles to flow to the sidewall, and rotate the wheel to let the sealant plug the leak. 2. Tire puncture: If the tire is punctured by small sharp objects that may even penetrate the tire, the leak may be hard to detect from the tread. Adding tire sealant can completely resolve this issue.
