Having suitable and good shoes can make us step like flying arrows, but if the shoes go wrong, it can be uncomfortable to walk lightly, or dangerous in severe cases.
Everyone knows that the tires of a semi-trailer are like shoes on our feet. Having suitable and good shoes can make us step like flying arrows, but if the shoes go wrong, it can be uncomfortable to walk lightly, or dangerous in severe cases.
There are various methods for repairing a tire, but they are not omnipotent. If there is a wound larger than one centimeter on 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. It is better to retire them and not use them anymore.
First aid method: The common way to repair a tire with a gun 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 a gun type tire repair. The major advantage of this method is its speed and convenience, 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 to repair the tire. 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.
