What to Do When a Tire Gets a Cut?
1 Answers
If a tire gets a cut, it must be removed from the rim and inspected by a professional tire dealer to determine if it can be repaired. Below are specific details regarding tire cuts: Situations where the tire cannot be repaired: The sidewall cannot be repaired, as it flexes and deforms during driving, making it a deformation zone where repair materials can easily fall off, leading to air leakage; puncture holes in the tread exceeding 6 mm in diameter cannot be repaired; if there is bead damage or deformation, tread deformation, rubber corroded by chemicals, or damage from driving under-inflated; other abnormal conditions where the tire cannot be repaired, such as visible signs of under-inflation (e.g., sidewall scuffing, inner liner bubbling, etc.), as the tire structure may already be compromised and unsafe for further use.
