★ Three common methods for quickly solving a punctured car tire ★
The tires of a car are like shoes on our feet. A suitable pair of good shoes can make us step like flying arrows, but if there is a problem with the shoes, it can be uncomfortable to walk, and in severe cases, we may fall or even sprain our feet. Do you know what to do if your car's tires are inevitably punctured by sharp objects and burst? Here are a few tips for you: First aid method: Gun repair * * The common method of tire repair is to insert a special rubber strip into the puncture area of the tire. The technicians at tire repair shops usually refer to it as gun repair. The advantage of this method is that it is fast and convenient, taking only a few minutes, and there is no need to pry the tire off the steel rim. The defect of gun repair is that it is not durable enough, and it is also difficult to deal with larger wounds, so it is usually only used as a temporary remedial measure. Blocking method: Adhesive repair is another way of repairing tires. The so-called adhesive repair is to remove the injured tire from the steel rim, find the wound, and apply special tire repair rubber from the inner layer of the tire to complete the repair. The advantage of this method is that it can repair larger wounds, but the disadvantage is still that it is not durable enough. After a period of immersion in water and high-speed operation, the repair site will experience air leakage again. Conclusion: Fire repair * * Thorough tire repair measures are commonly referred to as fire repair. Fire repair also requires prying off the tire, attaching a special rubber sheet to the wound, and then using a baking machine to bake the wound until the rubber sheet is completely attached to the tire. The advantage of fire repair is that it is very durable, and there is basically no need to worry about repeated air leaks. However, it also has a disadvantage, which is that the technical requirements during construction are high, because if the heat control during baking is not good, it is likely to burn the tires, and in severe cases, deformation may occur, which can cause significant damage to the tires. Professionals point out that there are various methods for repairing a tire, but they are not universal. If there is a wound larger than 1 centimeter on the tire wall (i.e. the side of the tire), or if the tire crown is pierced by steel bars or other objects, causing a large hole, it is generally better to replace the tire with a new one. Because such tires are not only difficult to repair, but the effect after repair is also not reassuring, so it is better to retire them. As for DIY, there are many automatic tire repair agents on the market that have certain effects, but at the same time, they also have strong limitations. For example, if the tire that needs to be patched has already leaked out, it will be difficult to take effect. The defect of this tire repair agent is its high corrosiveness. Both the steel rim and alloy wheel rim will suffer significant damage over time, and the direct result of this damage is that the steel rim and tire are not tightly sealed, leading to air leakage.
