Can a tire still be used after driving 5+ km without air?
1 Answers
If there is no air leakage after inflation, it can continue to be used as a spare tire. Here is the relevant information: 1. Suggestion: It is not recommended to continue driving with a tire in a low-pressure state. (Please identify the cause of the low tire pressure; for example: whether there is a nail puncture, cut, aging or cracked valve rubber, etc.). 2. Reason: Driving with insufficient air pressure will cause excessive bending of the tire body, which generates high heat. The internal airtight layer rubber may be burned into black spots, leading to separation between the rubber and the tire body cord fabric. In more severe cases, the airtight layer rubber may melt due to the high heat, causing the internal structure of the tire to be severely damaged. Continuing to drive with a weakened tire may eventually cause tire damage or even a blowout, posing safety hazards.
