Tire repair
Restoring a radial steel cord tire is a very complex process. If you notice a defect after a long time, the tire carcass may suffer from long-term driving with too low pressure and get internal damage. If moisture penetrates through a puncture, corrosion can damage the stabilizing steel cord. The most dangerous thing about this is that the damage cannot be seen from the outside. If the repaired tire is used under heavy load (high speed, full load), then it may suddenly burst. Installing a tube in this case will only be a temporary solution, as protruding parts of the cord can burst the tube. If in doubt, do not risk it and buy the same new tire.
