Which Method is Best for Car Tire Repair?
1 Answers
Among tire repair methods, the cold patch method is considered the best. Other methods include hot vulcanization repair, internal patch repair, plugging with rubber strips, and mushroom plug repair. More details about car tire repair are as follows: Cold Patch Repair: Cold patch repair involves thinning the inner side of the leaking hole on the tire. A specialized adhesive strip is then applied and repeatedly pressed to restore the tire to normal use. Hot Vulcanization Repair: Hot vulcanization is typically used for truck bias-ply tires. Passenger car tires should not be repaired this way, as the heating process can damage the tire crown and may not ensure sufficient strength. It should be avoided whenever possible. Internal Patch Repair: Larger tire specialty shops often use this method, which operates on a principle similar to bicycle tire repair. Plugging with Rubber Strips: This is the quickest and most convenient tire repair method. It involves directly inserting a rubber strip into the leaking hole using a nail, effectively sealing it and allowing the tire to be used normally in a short time. Mushroom Plug Repair: The mushroom plug is made from special materials with properties very similar to rubber. It is inserted into the leaking hole on the inner side of the tire and then smoothed out.
