Gumming of the wheels

Humming wheels: repair and prevention
Gumming of wheels is a process that allows you to return the initial type and characteristics to worn rubber. Imagine that your favorite shoes have worn out, but instead of buying new ones, you can make it as new. Gumming is about the same for your wheels.
How does this work?
The process of gumming is to apply a special composition to worn rubber. This composition, similar to paint and varnishes, fills cracks and irregularities, restoring the tread structure. At the same time, of course, not all protectors are equally suitable for gumming. If the tires are too badly damaged, gumming can be ineffective. Also, as with shoes, the result depends on the quality of the material and skill of the performer.
Advantages of gumming:
This method of repair has several advantages before buying new tires. Firstly, it is saving money. Gumming, often, is much cheaper than replacing the entire wheel. Secondly, gumming allows you to extend the life of old, but also suitable tires. This means less waste, because you do not throw away quite useful rubber. And, finally, the qualitative gumming returns their original coupling with the road, which is important for safety.
When is it worth it for gumming?
Not all worn tires are suitable for gumming. If the protector has too many deep cracks or damage, which penetrate the structure of rubber itself, then gumming can be ineffective. It is also worth contacting professionals who have experience in this area. Incorrect gumming can lead to a deterioration in tire characteristics and reduce their safety. It is important to evaluate the condition of the wheels and make a balanced decision. Ultimately, the right choice is a choice in favor of safety and savings.
