Should a slow tire leak be repaired?
1 Answers
It needs to be repaired promptly, otherwise it may cause safety hazards. There are various situations of tire leaks (slow leaks), and different methods should be adopted according to the leaking part or characteristic phenomena: 1. Direct repair with special tire repair strips: Suitable for slow leaks caused by pinholes or small punctures in the tire. This method is commonly used for punctures caused by small foreign objects such as nails, glass, or sharp objects while driving. It's relatively quick and time-saving, but not very durable. 2. Special patch repair: Used for daily small punctures or slow leaks. The "patch" type tire repair sticker can directly "inner repair" the tire (i.e., repair on the inner side of the tire). 3. Quick automatic tire repair fluid: When the tire is punctured with a small wound and slow air leakage. It can be repaired with special "quick tire repair fluid" (such as connecting to the valve stem, refer to the product instructions for specific methods). The repair fluid will introduce compressed air while replenishing, restoring normal tire pressure. Wait a few minutes before driving. This method is not suitable for tires with larger area damage. 4. Valve core leakage: Slow leaks from the valve core are relatively common. This method is relatively simple, just replace the valve core assembly, but the premise is that the outer tire needs to be removed.
