Can You Drive with a Deformed Tire?
1 Answers
Tire deformation is not safe to drive with, and it is recommended to replace the tire immediately. Otherwise, it may lead to issues such as driving deviation, wheel vibration, and abnormal wear. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery for rolling contact with the ground. During driving, they endure various deformations, loads, forces, and high and low-temperature effects. Therefore, they must possess high load-bearing capacity, traction performance, and cushioning properties. Automobile tires are one of the critical components of a vehicle, directly in contact with the road surface. Together with the vehicle suspension, they help absorb shocks encountered during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving. They also ensure excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, thereby improving the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capability.
