What are the common methods for car tire repair?

Common car tire repair techniques Generally speaking, car tire repair techniques can be roughly divided into three types based on the extent of tire damage: cold repair technique (internal repair or patch repair), hot repair technique (commonly known as vulcanization), and plug repair technique. Car tire cold repair technique The so-called cold repair technique involves removing the damaged car tire from the rim, identifying the puncture, cleaning out any foreign objects from the puncture, and then applying a specialized tire patch from the inside of the tire to complete the repair. In fact, this technique is similar to bicycle tire repair, but it requires a specialized tire removal machine and tire patch to complete. Its advantage is that it can be used to repair large tire punctures, but the disadvantage is that it is not very durable. After a period of water immersion or high-speed driving, the repaired area of the car tire may leak again. Car tire hot repair technique (commonly known as vulcanization) is the most thorough tire repair measure. The hot repair technique also requires removing the car tire from the rim, then applying a specialized uncured patch to the puncture. The puncture is then heated with a curing machine until the patch fully adheres to the car tire. The advantage of the car tire hot repair technique is that it is very durable, and there is basically no need to worry about repeated leaks at the puncture site. However, there is also a disadvantage, which is that the technical requirements during the repair process are relatively high, because if the temperature is not controlled properly during heating, the car tire may be scorched or even severely deformed, causing more damage to the tire.
