Hi All,
One of my front tires had a tear in the side wall due to some sharp object. Didn't know what caused it. Have given the same for vulcanization. Please suggest is it safe to drive around with a tyre that is vulcanized.My tire had done only 12000 kMS.
Please suggest.

Vivek S

Hi All,
Thanks for the replies. I had the tube vulcanized as it was a side wall damage. the tube has been shifted to the rear diagonal wheel as it can create a wobble if put in the front.
Planning to upgrage to Michelin early next year mostly XM1. Have to wait till that. Did a wheel allignment also after the tire rotation.
Will post the pics after i take it during the ayudha pooja.
regards

hi Vivek,
I have booked an I10, sportz, while my father owns an I20 sportz. We had a similar problem in our i20 where the front driver side tyre was cut by a sharp stone. We got the tyre vulcanised but have put the tyre in same position.
Can you please throw some light on your comments
If this is serious then we could follow what you have done.
Also, for your information : The vehicle had run 2700+Km when this incident happened and now ODO reads at 4000+Km. So around 1300Km with the vucalnised wheel in same position as before.

My tyre was a bridgestone. the front passenger side tyre had the sidewall tear. I has taken the tyre to Sai Iyengar tyre shop located at bannerghatta road. The dealer on inspection of the tyres proposed that the the vulcanized tyre be put at the rear diagonal so that the pressure on the wheel is less on the rear. Also when vulcanization is done they will add some lump of rubber there and compact it at high temperature to seal the hole. this will creates some ssues in the balancing of the wheel if put in the front.
So that is the reason i had the same fitted in the rear so that the pressure on the tyre is less.
If you do not feel any wobble while driving then leave it in the same place.
Hope this answers the question.

Hi All,
Can people who own Hyundai i10 1.2 kappa share their fuel efficiency that they get out of their car.
I get around 13-14 (50% AC) in city and 17-18 (100 % Ac and tested only on bangalore chennai highway) on highways.

There are a few wayes to tame your kappa engine and extract maximum fuel efficiency out of it.
- Kappa engine gulps fuel when accelerated and decelerated quickly.
- There is a significant difference in fuel consumption when driven at 85 and at 100.driving at 85 will save fuel.
- Never use kappa for short rides less than 2 kms.
- change gears at speeds of 10,20,30,40,60.
