What are the methods for car tire repair?
1 Answers
There are four methods for car tire repair, detailed as follows: 1. Plug method: Drill a hole of about 6mm, then insert a glue-coated plug into the hole. This is only a temporary solution and not suitable for long-term use, as it may easily leak air. 2. Patch repair: This method is relatively stable and reliable, and needs to be done at a professional tire repair shop. It is the most commonly used solution in the market. 3. Hot patch: This adds a heating step to the patch repair method. It is mostly used for large trucks, as private car tires are thinner and may be damaged by improper heating. 4. Mushroom plug: Generally, this method provides the best airtightness and repair effect after tire repair, with the strongest durability. However, if the nail damage is not too severe, a mushroom plug is unnecessary, as it may cause greater damage.
