How to patch a large truck tire
A punctured car tire can be patched up and continued to be used, as can a large truck tire, but the process is much more complicated.
The video shows the repair process of a large tractor tire. Tires are punctured and patched with a lot of work, taking more effort and time than normal car tires. After that, the oversized tire will continue to be used, until the expiration date, or the damage is too serious to be repaired.
Repairing, or patching tires according to allowable standards saves a lot of money compared to buying new tires, especially with large tires. Regular car tires can cost 10-40 USD per patch, depending on the case. With a large tractor tire like the one shown in the video, the cost can be significantly higher, but still much less than a new tire.
According to US standards, to properly patch a tire, the tire must be removed from the rim so that the inside can be inspected. The puncture will be filled with rubber, and then sealed with a patch, just like the steps shown in the video. The size of the perforation is only 6.3 mm maximum. Perforations in the sidewall or sidewall of the tire cannot be repaired, and the tire will be discarded. Tires can be patched more than once, but the patches should not be too close together.
