Why Can't the Cause of Air Leakage in Tubeless Tires Be Found?
1 Answers
It may be due to poor sealing between the tire and the rim, foreign objects at the sealing area between the tire and the rim, or deformation that makes it difficult to detect. The reasons for tire air leakage are as follows: Punctured by foreign objects: Common foreign objects that can puncture tires include nails, screws, wires, glass fragments, sharp stones, and tile pieces. Among these, nails and screws are most likely to penetrate the tire, causing a slow leak. They may also remain lodged in the puncture site, and if not removed promptly, can worsen the damage to the tire. Damage to the tire sidewall and inner edge: Besides the tire tread being vulnerable to damage from hard objects, the sidewall and inner edge are also weak points. Some drivers with poor spatial awareness often scrape the tire sidewalls against curbs, leading to gradual wear. Damage to the inner edge of the tire usually occurs during improper installation or removal of the tire from the rim, often during tire replacement or after a repair. Both sidewall and inner edge damage can cause slow leaks and significantly increase the risk of a blowout. Deformation of the rim flange: When a car tire is fully inflated, the outer edge of the tire tightly seals against the rim flange to prevent gas leakage. If the rim flange is deformed due to impact, it can compromise the seal with the tire's outer edge, resulting in a slow leak.
