What are the methods of repairing tires?

Tires, like car shoes, will encounter all kinds of roads and terrain, and naturally there will be various problems. For example, the common tire leak is one of the most common faults of automobiles. Tires will inevitably be punctured by foreign objects when driving. What are the methods of repairing tires?

The first type is rubber strip tire repair:

This is the most traditional method, that is, directly poke the large rubber strip into the damaged position, and then check whether there is air leakage.

The second method is now commonly used, patch repair, also known as cold patching:

This method is a little more complicated and laborious than rubber strip tire repair. First, remove the upper surface of the tire steel ring, grind off a layer near the damage to make it rough, and then put a patch on it. In fact, the external damage where the tire touches the ground has not been repaired. There is a high risk of secondary rupture. If the damage is large, this method cannot be used.

The third method is fire repair, also known as hot repair:

This approach looks very similar to patching. The patch is stuck to the damaged part of the inner side of the wheel with glue or sulfide, but the patch is baked first, fused with the wound of the tire and enters the damaged part. Compared with the patch, the hot sticking method is more durable, not easy to be damaged twice, and the surface looks perfect.

The fourth type is called mushroom nail tire repair:

This method is better and safest in tire repair, but the price is more expensive than the above ones. Mushroom nails look like ordinary thumbtacks, also called thumbtacks. Its repair process is to poke the mushroom nail on the outside of the tire on the inside of the tire, and the mushroom nail is firmly stuck on the inside of the tire. And then cut off that excess part extend out of the tire. That's it, both inside and outside.

If you are in a hurry, and from an economic point of view, you can choose the way of rubber strip tire repair. In addition, we should choose a suitable tire repair method according to the price of our own tires. If your tire is within 500 yuan, there is no need to choose mushroom nails for tire repair. The market price of one-time tire repair is about 150 yuan. Moreover, the tire is a worn-out product. After driving for 20,000 kilometers, you should replace it with a new one, and you can choose a patch to repair the tire, which has no effect on the driving experience. We should get into the habit of checking the tires before driving, to see if there are any foreign objects on the tires and to see the tire pressure. Especially when running a long distance, it is necessary to check and change the tires, because it is related to our personal safety. As a driver friend who drives for a long time, he should also have the ability to change the spare tire of the car to avoid special circumstances and being caught off guard.
