Does driving with car tires in water during rain have any impact?
1 Answers
Driving with car tires in water during rain has no impact. Below are specific explanations regarding car tires in water during rain: 1. Reason: Tires are made of rubber, which does not dissolve in water or undergo chemical reactions with water. Therefore, soaking tires in rainwater for a day has no effect. 2. Impact: If there is accumulated rainwater in low-lying areas, it is best to park elsewhere, as deep water immersion can reach the wheel bearings, causing the grease inside to deteriorate and damage the bearings. Additionally, rainwater has certain corrosive properties and can react chemically with impurities stuck on the tires, leading to surface corrosion. Frequent soaking in rainwater can also cause the rubber to soften, deform, and age prematurely due to thermal expansion and contraction, increasing driving safety hazards.
