It's best not to use it to repair electric vehicle tires. Electric vehicle tires are relatively thin, and this method requires enlarging the hole, which causes significant damage. A patch repair method is better.
Common Tire Repair Methods
1. Traditional Rubber Strip Method (External Repair): This method is relatively primitive. The principle is to first enlarge the damaged hole with a sharp tool such as an awl, and then fill the hole with a rubber strip coated with glue. It's simple to operate, extremely low in cost, and takes very little time. It doesn't require separating the tire and rim, nor does it require dynamic balancing. The disadvantages are obvious: enlarging the hole with an awl increases the damaged area, and this repair method is not very durable and prone to leaks.
2. Patch Repair Method (Internal Repair): This method is the most common, and most tire repair shops use this method. First, separate the tire from the rim. Grind down the inside of the tire at the puncture site to make the adhesive adhere better. Clean up the grinding debris. Apply some specialized tire repair adhesive to the puncture site and surrounding area. Attach the tire repair patch to the puncture and press it firmly. Apply another layer of adhesive, and the tire repair is complete.
3. Mushroom Patch Repair (Internal Repair) Mushroom patch repair is currently the most advanced tire repair method. It is also an internal repair method, requiring separation of the tire from the rim. Dynamic balancing is also necessary after the repair. The difference between mushroom patch repair and tire repair patches is that mushroom patch repair effectively fills the gaps in the puncture, preventing the damage from worsening.
