What is the maximum size of a puncture that can be repaired?
1 Answers
Tires can typically be repaired for punctures up to 6mm deep. If the puncture on the tread exceeds 6mm in depth, it is not advisable to repair the tire, and a new tire should be replaced instead. 1. Reason: Because the gap is too large, even after repair, during aggressive driving maneuvers such as turning, the puncture may worsen further, posing a more serious safety hazard. 2. Importance of tires: Tires are the components of a car that directly contact the ground, playing a crucial role in the driving process. They support the vehicle's weight, work with the car's suspension to absorb shocks during driving, ensure a comfortable ride and smooth handling, maintain good traction between the wheels and the road surface, and enhance the car's traction, braking, and off-road capabilities.
