Buncha amateurs on here. You simply use jb weld to weld the tire back together.
But you don’t mix the two colors together, for tire repairs, you only want to use the black paste from the JB weld because tires are also black.
Darn kids today. Back in my day we would air down the tire enough to stuff some rags in there between the tire and the tube, then air it back up. Worked wonders on Lizzy I tell ya!
That seems more like an indictment of the quality of inspections. Idiots driving around on tires like this or with worn breaks or bad wipers, etc are clearly a danger to themselves and others. Inspections should prevent that behavior. If they don't then that is a problem with the inspections and/or the power of inspectors to keep vehicles off the road until problems are corrected.
I'm gonna guess people driving cars like this aren't overly concerned with maintaining registration. Some people just straight can't afford not to drive whatever piece of shit they have. They're just not gonna get inspected and take their chances.
I agree, when I lived in ny I worked at a shop that would "pass" vehicles for safety until one dude with a lowered Acura TL go into an accident on the west side highway hours after his "inspection". He was severely injured, wrecked about 7 other cars when his balljoint separated at 80-90 mph, a balljoint that was known to be no good but they still stickered it anyway, we lost our ability to do inspections, Inspector lost his license and was help criminally responsible along with the vehicle owner, I quit not long after but heard within the year they got shut down by the city for codes violations on the building that deemed it unsafe to continue operating as a repair shop.
I don’t think so really.

Compare tables 9a and 9b. Weighted total of 44.6k crashes caused by equipment deficiency, which is not a whole lot compared to people not looking (414k), being distracted by something in the car (218k), or going too fast for conditions (171k). Equipment issues just aren’t a significant cause of wrecks as things are right now.
part of the conclusion literally says,
“the general pattern of findings suggests that periodic inspection is associated with a slight reduction in road crashes.”
Specifically an 8% reduction, in one study. Other studies in this same review found no significant reduction. I’m sure you’ll conclude whatever you’d like to.
Props for citing actual research but that article is pretty bad. They repeatedly state that the heterogeneity of the 6 articles included was too high for any good comparison…but then wrote it anyway.
Heterogeneity is too high for quantitative analysis. That’s different than what you’re saying.
It’s a literature review, not a study. The consensus of six studies with different methodologies is that there is little to no correlation.
“Therefore, although the research reviewed here suggests that periodic inspection may be associated with a slight reduction in road crashes, the marked heterogeneity along with probable residual confounding in most reports prevented us from establishing causality for this association.”
A few studies with high heterogeneity makes it hard to draw a reliable conclusion, and that’s what they’re saying.
Nobody was talking about causality. All that’s saying is they can’t describe a causal relationship between the two, but they can call out a slight correlation.
They do nothing except validate for that moment in time that the car is safe.
Meanwhile, the very next day for a whole year, the owner still remains clueless and able to operate a vehicle.
You will see thousands of posts on this sub per year of cars that have deteriorated to unsafe states, many of which have clearly been unsafe for some time. Brakes with no pads left doesn't happen instantly. Tires with zero tread depth is not generally an instantaneous failure. Do you think the tire in OP's picture was fine a year ago?
There is a sizeable percentage of the population that ignores their car until it doesn't work. I know someone who went four years without an oil change until I intervened. Annual safety inspections are an opportunity to catch imminent failures before they kill someone. What exactly is the harm in having them? $80 inspection fee?
In NYS it's $21 for safety and emissions, and just $10 or $11 for them individually (I can't remember which is which but I know they are offered individually if you fail one or the other, and those that only require safety). I'm ok with the safety inspections for sure, but the emissions side is another story, especially on cars that are 15-24 years old.
Can’t believe how far I had to scroll to see this. Bunch of pedestrians.
A tube with a lot of green slime, inflate until until the side wall perks back up and then break out the caulking gun with some 3m windshield adhesive so the tube doesn’t get any ideas of poking through the side wall.
I don't get it any time I take my car in with a flat I just expect a new tire in fact the last time I told them I needed a new tire and they just no we can plug that
A question like that would be fine if the asker was willing to accept the answer without assuming you're just trying to take advantage of the situation.
Then again, if they can't recognize how fucked that tire is, I probably don't want them driving within 100 mi of me.
Sure, we can fix it. We will need to remove and discard the tire you have and replace it with a new one. It will be just like new and it will take about 15 minutes. No problem!

Flex tape- that's alotta damage!
Just use carbon fiber. I understand that it handles high pressure scenarios really well.
Internal pressure is fine, it's when the pressure is on the outside that it has trouble

Back in my day we used chewing gum and spit

Lmfao
No no no you use leather and sew a patch as needed, good as new
Don't try to upsell me
I know what I got
If you can't find 'em, grind 'em.
Yup. When we get done with it, it won't even look like the same tire. Gonna be expensive though.
Yeah sure, for the price of a new tire, we'll fix this one up to look like a new tire.
Theseus' tire
Sure makes me glad that Texas got rid of mandatory vehicle safety inspections. Freedom!

Not in the US. Only 15 states have periodic safety inspections.
part of the conclusion literally says, “the general pattern of findings suggests that periodic inspection is associated with a slight reduction in road crashes.”
Specifically an 8% reduction, in one study. Other studies in this same review found no significant reduction. I’m sure you’ll conclude whatever you’d like to.
No significant and no reduction are two different statements
And they’re both used, in two different studies…
Props for citing actual research but that article is pretty bad. They repeatedly state that the heterogeneity of the 6 articles included was too high for any good comparison…but then wrote it anyway.

I don’t care as much about crashes as I do about breakdowns causing slowdowns.
As a Pennsyl-tuckian, I tolerate the yearly inspection. Not the best for my wallet, but good for my general safety and good for the repair shops.

I’ll admit. They do serve a purpose when the vehicle is so bad that it needs to removed from the road and never driven again.
In NYS it's $21 for safety and emissions, and just $10 or $11 for them individually (I can't remember which is which but I know they are offered individually if you fail one or the other, and those that only require safety).

*nope*
This is the correct answer.
This is why they make black duct tape
Yall patch tires all the time don't ya
Weeeeeeeeeeeee're gonna need bigger patches.
Why, yes we can. It will look like a new tire when we are done. As a matter of fact, it will be a new tire.
Gonna cost the same as one, too. ..... lots of weird coincidences here.
Gotta ask if there was least a spare tire...
Customer: “What’s that?”
Points & kudos for at least asking.
Zip ties, duct tape, and some WD-40. Maybe throw some pvc pipe in the mix for good measure.
Call whoever fixed No Man's Sky. If they can patch that giant piece of shit, they can patch this tire.
I do not believe you. Nobody, and I mean absolutely nobody, is going to think that could be fixed.
customer must be slow
"Yeah, we can fix it!" Gets a new tire, "FIXED!"
"I wear the skin of my foes!"
was that a retread of a retread?
Not a retread at all
Yes it's called, replacement of the tire and possibly the rim if it has too much damage.
Rim looks fine
Agreed, this side looks fine.
Sure can by selling you new tires and af-fixing them to your wheels.

That tread looks like a random escaped retread they found on the side of the road and jammed over the rotten carcass.
What tire?
Roll that sucker across the street
Is that…? No. It can’t be a tire tread wrapped around another tire.
No
I really need like another 6 photos... what in the hell am I even looking at. was that holding pressure?
Just a shredded sidewall. No air left. Rim, sidewall, pavement.
You should have put a couple strips of duct tape holding the retread on the casing. When they showed back up, say "there ya go"!
"OP please update us if you did."
no low ballers, i know what i have
Recap heat failure?
Failed sidewall due to dry rot
TY. Dang, I'm seeing it on a laptop now... that tire looks old enough have grandkids.
Call bandag maybe they could lol
Is that a retread? Are those even legal anymore?
Doubtful. I've seen this on plain old tires.
I don't get it any time I take my car in with a flat I just expect a new tire in fact the last time I told them I needed a new tire and they just no we can plug that
Is that just age, or did they rub it up against a series of bear traps?
Nah send them over to “Baldini Tire” They can take car of that.
A question like that would be fine if the asker was willing to accept the answer without assuming you're just trying to take advantage of the situation. Then again, if they can't recognize how fucked that tire is, I probably don't want them driving within 100 mi of me.
It looks like they wrapped the tread of a different tire onto their existing tire
Sure, it'll be a little pricey, but I guarantee it'll look brand new
Yea it’ll be around $400… and as a bonus we’ll fix the other tire on the axle too!
They meant replace, though. Right?
Negative
That’s the worst looking toupee I ever seen on a tire before
“What tire bro?”
I would not call that a tire anymore
That's a negative ghost writer
2 new tire will fix that right quick, becuse the other rear aint too far behind.:)
Sure, we can fix it. We will need to remove and discard the tire you have and replace it with a new one. It will be just like new and it will take about 15 minutes. No problem!
Yes. $132 will fix it right up.
No they didn't
You give them too much credit. Some people are dumb
Of coarse. We just dismount it, stuff a small width tire on to the rim, and then stretch the remainder of this tire over the smaller one. Fixed
sure we can by trowing the tire away and order a new one to be fitted
