Could a tire patch (plug?) cause the tire to go out of round? I had a puncture nearly dead center in the threads; I took the tire to a local big box and had the puncture repaired. The tires were balanced and rotated. The repaired tire was placed front side passenger. At highway speeds the tire wobbles or shakes. At 300 miles I checked and noticed it was inflated to 42 PSI when 32 PSI is recommended. I had the tire rebalanced and it still shakes. There were no issues before the repair. Can repairs be removed an redone?
Why hassle doing that? purely circulate out and get new tires. Whats so no longer ordinary approximately that? enable me wager, you opt for new tires and you opt for your mothers and dads to pay for them. Get a activity and do it your self. You dont could injury the tires
If the tires were balanced at the tire shop, then the repair did not make the tire go out of round. That's the whole point of balancing, to make sure the tire is properly balanced. Something happened to your tire after leaving there.
I'm not 100% sure but I doubt it. A plug is just that, a small piece of rubber that plugs a small hole. A patch is a little more involved but a more permanent repair. I don't think either type of repair can create a flat spot. I wonder if the problem was there before the flat, and the repair somehow made it worse. One interesting comment you made - - after the repair, you had the tires rotated and balanced, with the repaired tire now on the right front position. To me that means the tire was mounted on the rear prior to the repair, correct? If a tire is slightly out of round, mounting it on the rear axle would make the vibrations less noticeable. It is entirely possible the tire had an out of round problem BEFORE it was repaired, you just didn't notice it. It is common for tire installers to install a not-so-perfect tire on the rear to minimize vibrations. It's not a scam, just something that makes the problem go away for the car owner. My advice? Replace that tire with a new one. At this point, going back and forth, trying to get someone to fix a tire that may not be fixable is a waste of time. A new tire will solve this problem and you can get on with life. Consider replacing two tires if possible, that way one axle will have fresh rubber. Replace the other two as soon as you can.
