What to Do When a Car Tire Is Flat?

[OAndrew]

Solutions for a flat car tire: Use a tire repair kit or replace the spare tire. A tire repair kit includes an air pump and sealant, which can inflate and repair the tire when it leaks, allowing the owner to drive to the nearest repair shop without changing the tire. Generally, a tire repair kit can only fix holes within 6mm; holes larger than 6mm or punctures on the tire sidewall cannot be repaired. After repair, the maximum speed should not exceed 80 km/h. Tire usage precautions: 1. Proper selection and matching of tires: Do not use tires of different specifications or brands on the same vehicle or axle. At a minimum, tires on the same axle should be of the same specification, brand, tread pattern, and even from the same manufacturer. 2. Check tire surface wear: Regularly inspect the tire surface for wear and address any issues promptly. Most tires have wear indicators; once the wear limit is reached, the tire must be replaced. Frequently check the tire tread and sidewalls for cracks, cuts, or other damage. 3. Regularly check tire pressure: Both overinflation and underinflation can increase tire wear.
