Should the small stones inside the tires be removed?
1 Answers
Tire stones need to be removed, otherwise they may cause the following hazards: 1. Air leakage: Some stones are sharp and may puncture the outer rubber layer of the tire during high-speed driving. 2. Abnormal tire noise: The main sources of noise during driving are the sound from the engine compartment and tire noise. Once many small stones get stuck in the tire, the tire noise will significantly increase, potentially distracting the driver. 3. Flying gravel, endangering vehicles and pedestrians: When driving at high speed, small gravel stuck in the tire grooves may be thrown out, harming vehicles and pedestrians. 4. Affecting tire performance: The grooves on the tire are designed for water drainage. If they are filled with small stones, the drainage effect will be weakened. Driving on slippery roads with reduced tire grip or braking performance can easily lead to skidding.
