Should I replace the tire if there is a cut on it?

If there is a bulge or cut on the car tire, it is recommended to replace the tire. The specific reasons are as follows: 1. Broken steel wires: A bulge indicates that one or more steel wires inside the tire have broken, causing the rubber to be unable to withstand the internal pressure of the tire, resulting in a bulge. A cut on the tire sidewall is also dangerous because the sidewall is the weakest part of the tire. A cut can compromise the strength of the sidewall, making the rubber thinner in that area. Thinner rubber may not withstand the internal pressure of the tire, potentially leading to a blowout. Generally, bulges and cuts are caused by external damage to the tire. 2. Recommendation: When parking, try not to get too close to the curb to prevent the tire sidewall from rubbing against the road and causing a bulge. If there is a bulge or cut, the tire should be replaced to avoid the risk of a blowout during continued use.
