Tire Repair


Total Votes: 4 / Interest: 559

Flat Tires may induce the rim of the wheel to relax on the tire tread or on the area potentially causing loss of control of the car or irrecoverable damages to the tire. One of the most common reasons for a flat tire is penetrating of the tire by a sharp object, such as a nail, letting air escape. Depending on the dimension of the cut, the tire might deflate gradually or rapidly. Which might lead to the following concerns:

  •  Failure of or damage to the valve stem;
  •  Allowing air to escape from the valve or inducing damages by means of intentional puncturing
  •  Rubbing of the tire versus the roadway, ripping the tire, or splitting up of tire and rim by collision with additional objects;
  •  Too much wear of the tire tread causing explosive tire failure or permitting road debris to tear through it

Some tires, particularly a slow leak, may be repaired and re-inflated; others, especially those from the used tread, must be changed.
