Solid tires are renowned for their durability, especially compared to their inflatable counterparts. They're a staple for low-speed, heavy-duty vehicles like lift trucks, tractors, and industrial carts. The versatility of solid tires sees them used across various industries, but what happens when they show signs of wear and tear? Let's explore.

When your solid tire shows signs of damage like cracks, punctures, bubbling, or delamination, it's essential to assess the situation and either repair or refurbish the tire. If you notice recurring cracks around the tire body, the tire surface rubber has worn out, or there are large punctures and circular separations in the tire body's wire layer, it's time for a replacement.

For minor punctures in the inner tube, hot or cold patching can be applied. Roughen the area around the damage, apply a patch over the hole ensuring it's centered, then use a patch clamp to secure it. Ignite the heating agent on the patch and wait for 10-15 minutes for a secure bond.

Finally, timely replacement is key. If the inner tube shows signs of folding, severe cracking, stickiness due to aging, or deformation that can't be corrected, it's time for a new one. Regularly checking your tire pressure, preferably once a month, along with routine checks before hitting the highway ensures safe driving.

Many vehicle owners tend to overlook their tires' condition in daily use, leading to potential issues. Regular maintenance and good driving habits ensure a smooth ride.
