Wheel hub manufacturers talk about how to avoid modified wheel rims cutting tires

  I wonder if many car enthusiasts have experienced the problem of overly thin and sharp wheel rims on modified wheels? The sharp rims can directly cut the tires during high-speed driving, cornering, or passing obstacles, leading to accidents. This is not alarmist; we need to address these issues to prevent accidents. First, let's understand what tire cutting is.

  Tire cutting usually occurs when the outer edge of the wheel rim is thin or not dulled by grinding, causing friction between the rim and the tire upon impact. Depending on the impact force, the rim can directly cut the tire sidewall or cause severe wear.

  Why does tire cutting happen?

  Nowadays, most tires are tubeless, and tire manufacturing starts from the inside and ends at the tread edge. Due to usage, the tread directly contacts the ground, and the tire wears during acceleration and braking. Therefore, the tire surface is usually more durable than other parts, but the contact point between the sidewall and the rim lacks the thickness of the tire surface, making it more vulnerable.
