Sidewall - Bleeding* CBU(Cord Broken Up) *Inflation pressure will leak gradually
- Examples
- Condition of damage
-
Carcass cords are broken up circumferentially at shoulder or sidewall in a line or a saw pattern
- Causes
-
Excessive heat generation and fatigue caused by gradual leakage of air due to:
- 1. Unmatched valve core or aged core rubber
- 2. Fine materials such as mud or dust in the valve
- 3. Pin hole (small puncture) or tire and/or tube
- 4. Rust or any fine materials on the bead seat of rim
- 5. Unsatisfactory repair of puncture
- Recommendations
-
Stop to use the damaged tire
- 1. Use tires under the recommended air pressure and load, and check the air pressure periodically
- 2. Use a correct, new valve core
- 3. Use a valve cap to avoid entry of fine materials
- 4. Use new tubes for new tires
- 5. Remove rust or fine materials from the bead seat of rims when tires are mounted
- 6. Repair punctured tires and/or tubes correctly
