if this is for a car or pickup, there's no such thing. u get the tires replaced. maybe what ur thinking is called retreads. those are for semi's only, and retreaded semi tires are notorious for coming apart without warning.
if a semi tire blows, it's going to go with extreme force. it's fully capable of killing anyone in front of it. u dont want to put a retread on a passenger car. if that tire goes, it's going to throw rubber all over the road, and it will cause alot of damage to ur car.

Vulcanizing Tires
2016-11-12 07:00:10 · answer #2 · answered by ? 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
I have vulcanized a few for farm use and to get some one by until they could get a new one. If your tire has been previously vulcanized, I would throw it away and get a new one, because vulcanizing doesn't hold up well to high speeds.
Oh, did I mention vulcanizing hasn't been done since radial tires came out more than 30 years ago. Only bias ply tires can be vulcanized.

If I were you, I would check with someone from Vulcan. My friend Mr. Spock said that it really depends on whether the tire's parents are both true Vulcans or, as in his case, one Human, one Vulcan.
More to the point, check them after inter-plantary travel, it really racks up the miles. My local Goodyear dealer has all the tools, and some surly Klingon boys working in the back, it's awesome!

I would suggest when you no longer have 3/32" of tread left. A good way to check this is to use a Lincoln head penny. Insert the penny into the tread with Lincoln's head closest to the center of the tire. If you can see the top of Lincoln's head then it is time to replace your tires.

It's not gonna happen,unless you have a good friend that works for the manufacturer, your better off buying new tires.

if your refering to the heat style patching of the tire like I think you are then the answer is you don't unless you get another flat. else you are thinking of recapping and it cost more to do that than to buy new tires these days.

revulcanize? what is this a truck?
do you mean resealing the rims? this only needs to be done if you suspect a leak or when tires are changed.

As often as you change the air in the tire.
