1 Answers
Solutions for when a piece of the tire sidewall falls off: 1. Check if the cords are exposed: If the cords or radial belts are not exposed, it indicates the damage is superficial, just a piece of rubber missing, and does not affect usage; 2. Location of the damage: If the damage is on the sidewall of the tire, it is recommended to replace the tire, as sidewall damage cannot be repaired on any tire; 3. Presence of bulging: If the tire shows signs of bulging, it should be replaced immediately. The sidewall is the most vulnerable part of the tire structure. Besides the innermost airtight layer and fabric layer, only the outer rubber bears the force. The internal gas of the tire provides support, and the sidewall restricts the shape of the gas to maintain the tire's form.
