“Chief, you've got ten minutes of work to do, the hole is nothing! Well, come up with something .
.. ”Every tire fitter has probably heard such words. Alas, not all tire damage can be repaired ...
But the situation can be reversed. A wheel pierced by protruding reinforcement may be repairable, while a small cut will write off the tire for scrap. Experienced tire fitters believe that it all depends on the point of damage and the object that caused it.
Most often, drivers encounter punctures in the tread area of a tire. It is not always possible to detect it immediately. If in the days of tires and chambers the wheel lost pressure at the slightest puncture, then tubeless tires are much more reliable in this regard. A nail or self-tapping screw usually closes the puncture site, preventing air from escaping quickly.
With such a "plug" you can sometimes drive for months. The tire can lose pressure minimally without arousing suspicion. At the same time, an attempt to pull out a noticed nail on the way is likely to turn into a problem. In this case, the only recommendation is to pull out a foreign object only in a tire shop and repair the wheel.
In most cases, tread punctures are sealed either with special harnesses (some for temporary use, some for permanent use) or patches from the inside of the tire. Even damage caused by massive pins can be repaired. The main thing is that a piece of the tire along with the cord is not torn out.
In the latter case, the hole is filled with raw rubber, vulcanized, and a special cord patch is placed on the inside. But this will only be a temporary measure. In addition, such repairs are not cheap, and purchasing a new tire can be both more profitable and safer.
In addition to the plaster, cord “fungi” are also used. Lubricated with glue, the “fungus” is inserted into the puncture from the inside of the tire, then the excess part of the “leg” is cut off from the outside.
On the other hand, a cord patch can seriously help with side cuts. And car owners meet with them quite often. But here there are several nuances. In a roadside tire shop, the cut will most likely not heal.
You need to contact a company with specialized equipment, primarily vulcanization.
And one vulcanizer is not enough here. Cord patches should be with a certain number of layers, designed for strictly defined damage sites and of a suitable size. And again we are talking about the nuances.
If the cut is in the shoulder area of the tire, then it is often impossible to repair it properly. The tire fitter who offered such a service is at great risk, even if he claims that he will weave a piece of new cord with his hands and vulcanize it. There are no miracles in this situation, but in any case, the last word belongs to an experienced specialist.
Low-profile tires with a tread height of less than 50% of the width are difficult to heal side cuts. That is why, in the case of using a car on roads with a possibility of tire damage, it is better to put those that are higher. They are much easier and cheaper to repair.
By the way, what appears to be a cut at first glance may not be one.
If the sidewall of the wheel catches on something sharp, and a tear forms on the tire without damaging the cord, then this is called a pinch. It does not carry momentary danger and does not require any complex repairs.
However, if a piece of rubber remains, then it is glued with ordinary superglue. If not, you will need raw rubber and a vulcanizer. It is impossible to leave the cord bare: under the influence of moisture, it can collapse, which will lead to the complete loss of the tire.
One of the most common and fatal tire defects is swelling or simply "herniation". Despite the absence of open damage to the rubber, such a wheel will be scrapped ahead of schedule. The fact is that when the sidewall is hit, the threads of the tire carcass break. Even if the swelling is very small, sooner or later the bump grows in size, and this is already fraught with an explosion of the wheel at speed.
However, some hernias can be repaired, but this is again a temporary measure.
Masters can put cord patches even in the tread area. But only on condition that the distance from the sidewall to the swelling is more than 40 mm. If less, the tire is not subject to further operation. By the way, on low-profile tires, hernias, for the most part, are not repairable - both on the tread and on the sidewalls.
One of the major tire problems is caused by unprofessional repairs. Moreover, the owner most often does not know about it. We are talking about damage to the bead ring, as a result of which the tire does not initially hold the specified pressure.
Eventually the bead ring begins to push out of the rim. At high speed or under heavy load, such a wheel can be disassembled, which again threatens the car with a loss of control.
This damage can be repaired provided that the wire ring or base is not damaged. Special technologies for such repairs are not provided, but experienced craftsmen use the so-called "cold" or chemical vulcanization using a two-component sealant.
The resulting mass covers places where there is no rubber on the bead ring. The main condition is to wait three days before mounting the tire on the disc.
As for Run Flat tires, according to the instructions of most manufacturers, they are not subject to repair. In extreme cases, you can use a bottle of special pressurized sealant that comes as a repair kit.
Comment of the expert of the company "SHINSERVICE":
Alexander Golubev
expert "SHINSERVICE"
First of all, we recall that most tire manufacturers do not recognize handicraft tire repair. It is considered a sign of external influence and changes in the design of the tire. Such a tire automatically voids the warranty. This does not happen if tire repairs are carried out in specialized, authorized tire brands services. Note that almost all major tire brands give their own extended warranty, according to which in most cases the repair is free, at a discount, or the product is generally replaced with a similar one, depending on the conditions of the program.
Based on our experience, we can note that in most cases damage in the bead area and in the shoulder area is not repairable.
I would also like to draw attention to the fact that most low-profile tires have high speed indexes (V and above), and even after professional repair they will not be able to be used in the previous modes without restrictions. Therefore, we strongly recommend changing the tire in all cases, except for tread punctures.

Pure road tires for high speeds.
Now about the disadvantages ... Of course, the price! But, as they say, everyone looks at their own pocket ... What really upsets is a frankly weak sidewall .. At low speed, I hit a shallow pothole, tire the end! The sidewall was literally torn, like an ordinary sheet of paper.
By the nature of my activity, I am related to the production of fabric that is used in the production of tires, just on the sidewalls .. This is a Breaker and Chefer fabric. So, there is practically no fabric in the sidewall, i.e. . the rubber has nothing to hold on to. Maybe this is how Michelin achieves the softness of the tire? ))) Eiii ... more. Many people write that the tires behave well in a rut. So, maybe because of the tire size 295/40 r20 R20 with a rut, the machine swims. It is not a narrower winter rubber))
Tire Mishelin Latituda Sport 3, Audi Q7
Continues perfectly the road
, the protrusion is quickly erased
I demolished two sets on the XC-60. It behaves excellently on the track. Only the fast wear of the tread is embarrassing. but the sidewalls didn’t tear and there were no hernias. It doesn’t slow down on the ice crust at all, change it on time. I thought to try something else, but I’ll order it again for the summer.
I have a set for three seasons.
Excellent road holding
Tread wears off quickly
excellent grip, wear resistance and softness
price, not repairable
These tires allow you to operate this brick at 100% both in dry weather and in rain. There is probably some noise, but thanks to good sound insulation it is not particularly audible. The life span of 2 seasons is 35-40tkm. An excellent indicator, given the dorkish driving style. You can drive another flight, but it's better to sell them.
Before that, there were Pirellis - because of them I wanted to throw out 21 discs in general - every chink of the asphalt was felt and they were worn out to 0 in 1 season. I never caught a hernia, although it pierced up to the disk with traces on it. The speed, apparently, was low, because many complain about hernias - well, it depends on the condition of the roads and how you fly into the pit. The rubber is soft and comfortable. Absolutely no whistle in turns and when braking. Brakes generally very well. Sometimes I stare at the PS4, but no one can say if it is better or worse. Externally, her tread is more suitable for cornering, but the L3 kmk behaves better in the rain. About rain - safety and traction are very important to me, so I don’t grind the rubber to the limiter, but I sell it and put on a new one. So, I calmly go 160, when everyone is dragging 100 and it's raining, more than 180 the car starts to fly over the road. On a simply wet road, you can drive up to 200. Tire fitters do not recommend patching, arguing that this rubber compound is poorly vulcanized, which is somewhat regrettable - 19tr on average costs a cylinder 295 \ 35 \ 21

Dimension 255*55*18 Before that, it was just Latitude SPORT - you can feel the difference from the first meters. The new one is quieter and the ride is better. For wear, it is not yet clear to add, after a trip to the sea. Didn't regret the purchase at all.

Friends advised. I am very satisfied with the purchase. The road keeps on the top five. Soft silent. Comfort -5 points

Delicate sidewall Pretty fast wear Poor traction in cold weather Price
Drove 35 t km in 2 seasons, 2 wheels are already thrown away, 2 more for the season, the driving style is not aggressive. I think this is the result. In cool weather at positive temperatures, the skid does not hold well. Especially after night frosts. In autumn and spring, when the snow is still far away or has long gone, you have to be extremely careful when making sharp maneuvers. The pr-la guarantee really works: it pierced the wheel, drove for a long time on a slowly descending one, as a result of which the sidewall was chewed up - they replaced it with a new one without any problems, despite the fact that it seems like the obvious fault of the consumer. Impressed. But only a year.
