What Should You Do If The Tire Blows Out

Many people know that tires need to be replaced in time, but sometimes the tires may have some problems before their service life, such as nails!

Compared with the situation of tire blowout caused by careless use of tires, nails on the road are more common but don't ask why there are nails on the road.

First of all, tools are naturally indispensable. Common vehicle tools include tow hooks, triangle warning signs, jacks, tire wrenches, etc. Of course, most models will also be equipped with spare tires. When these tools are completed, you are a big step away from success.

If you encounter problems on the road, don't forget to place a triangle warning. According to regulations, you need to place warning signs 50-100 meters away from you.

Then, take out the tools you need from the trunk, including spare tires, jacks, and wrenches. Then loosen the screw on the hub, and loosen it counterclockwise, preferably diagonally, so as to avoid uneven force on one side. It should be noted that most of the wheel hub screws are tightened, and it is recommended to use them on foot to make them easier to loosen.

After that, don’t rush to unscrew all the screws, lift the car up with a jack, then unscrew the screws to remove the tire, then replace the spare tire, screw-in, and then push the jack down, and finally, after the tire has landed, put the screws Tighten it thoroughly.

Then I will tell you some methods that do not need to be removed, or even do not need to be done.

First of all, let's talk about the method that does not need to do it yourself, that is, calling for help. Who should I call? If you have car damage insurance, call the insurance company. If you apply for a car-card at some banks, call the customer service directly. If not, call the 4S shop.

Some 4S shops need to charge a certain amount of on-site rescue fees. In addition, the insurance company and car owner services are free, you just have to wait by the side. However, of course, there are disadvantages. The disadvantage is that the waiting time is relatively long. Basically, the entire process from making a phone call to changing a tire takes about 1 to 1.5 hours.

If you like buying and selling, the vehicle is equipped with flat tires, then please ignore the series of operations. Run-flat tires are actually flat tires, which, to be precise, means that you can continue driving even without tire pressure, but you should remember that you cannot drive 80km at a speed exceeding 80km/h.

Don't think that there is only one way to repair tires. In fact, it can be divided into two types: cold tonic and hot tonic. However, the hot repair process is more complicated and troublesome. In terms of cold tonic, beef tendon, patch, mushroom nail, and so on are common. Among them, the beef tendon method is the cheapest, but it is also the least durable, so ignore it for the time being.

Then the most common tire repair outside is actually patched tire repair, which is mainly to polish the damaged parts inside the tire, then clean up the polished debris, and then apply some special tire repair glue to the damaged parts and their surroundings. Stick the patch used to repair the tire on the damaged place, roll the patch firmly, and then apply a layer of glue to complete the repair. However, since the damaged part is still directly exposed, the damaged area may continue to expand while driving, which requires frequent inspections.

If the front tire punctures, you need to install the rear wheel on the front wheel, and then turn the spare tire to the rear wheel. This is because most family cars use the front-wheel-drive method. If the tire widths of the first two driving wheels are not the same, it is easy to cause difficulty in handling. Conversely, if your car is rear-wheel drive, but at the same time there is a problem with the rear wheel, then the spare tire must be replaced with the front wheel.

Also, don't run away after the tire is repaired, but don't forget to balance the tire. This is because the counterweight may be different after the tire is removed. If the dynamic balance treatment is not carried out, tire jitter, eccentric wear, etc. will occur, and there may be a risk of tire blowout over time.

If the sidewall is broken or the tire bursts, there is only one solution for you, and that is: change the tire!

China Wheel Expo reminds you that paying more attention to the use of tires can better avoid the risk of tire blowouts. As for avoiding the inevitable obstacles, if you do encounter them, then you know how to deal with them.
