What to Do About Tire Bulges?

2 Answers

For safety reasons, it is recommended to promptly replace the tire if it has a bulge. A tire bulge occurs due to the breakage of the internal cord plies, which cannot be repaired and must be replaced. Even if repaired, it usually involves just patching a piece of rubber over the bulge without fixing the broken cord plies. To minimize the risk of tire bulges, follow these measures: 1. Slow down when going over speed bumps to avoid sudden strong impacts that can deform the tire and rim. 2. Reduce speed when driving on rough roads to prevent sudden compression that may deform the rim and tire. 3. Regularly check tire pressure to ensure it is within the normal range and avoid abnormal pressure that could lead to bulging. 4. Park the vehicle on flat surfaces to prevent sidewall compression.

A bulging tire is really scary. I remember last time when I was driving, I suddenly felt the car wobbling a bit. After stopping, I saw a bulge on the tire. This is not something to take lightly—it usually means the internal fabric cords of the tire have broken, indicating severe damage. The tire could blow out at any moment, which is extremely risky. My advice is to pull over to a safe spot as soon as you notice a bulge and definitely don’t keep driving, especially not on the highway. It’s best to call for roadside assistance or contact a nearby repair shop to help you put on a spare tire temporarily, then immediately go to a professional auto shop for inspection or to replace the tire. Also, a quick reminder: regularly checking tire pressure and appearance can help prevent such incidents, saving you money and keeping you safe.

The harm of oil leakage: Excessive oil injection during driving, or the replacement of non-genuine oil filters due to installation problems leading to oil leakage, oil splashing on high-temperature parts such as the three-way catalytic converter and exhaust pipe, causing combustion and then burning the fan and surrounding plastic parts, which will lead to car fire. 2.

How long does it take for a 4S shop to replace a car bumper?

It takes 3 to 4 days. Replacing the vehicle's bumper requires painting, which can be completed on the same day.

Here is some related information about vehicle bumpers: 1. Vehicle bumper material: Bumpers were originally made of steel, but later it was discovered that their main purpose is to protect pedestrians, so they were naturally changed to plastic. 2.

When vehicles were first introduced, bumpers were mainly made of metal. With the continuous development of the automotive industry, bumpers have been replaced with plastic materials, serving to protect both the vehicle and pedestrians.

Is Wheel Balancing Necessary After Patching a Rear Tire?

Wheel balancing is necessary after patching a rear tire. This is because the repair process requires redistributing the weight of the tire, necessitating a rebalance. Below are details about tire patching methods: 1. Patch Repair Method: The tire is separated from the rim, and the damaged area inside the tire is sanded down to ensure better adhesion of the glue. After cleaning the sanded debris, a special tire repair adhesive is applied to the damaged area and its surroundings. A repair patch is then firmly pressed onto the damaged spot, followed by another layer of adhesive to complete the repair. 2. Traditional Plug Method: A sharp tool like an awl is used to enlarge the puncture hole, and a rubber strip coated with adhesive is inserted into the hole. This method is simple, low-cost, quick, and does not require separating the tire from the rim or performing a wheel balance check. It is a more traditional approach to tire repair.
