Does flooding half a tire affect the break-in period of a new car?

[MasonLynn]

Flooding half a tire of a car has some impact, but as long as the engine is not started, there won't be significant issues. Three scenarios of car flooding: Car flooding can be divided into three scenarios. First, water submerges the exhaust pipe but is below half the wheel height. Second, water reaches exactly half the wheel height. Third, water exceeds half the wheel height. Generally, water reaching half the wheel height will affect the car. Solutions: If water reaches half the wheel height and the seals are intact, water usually won't enter. However, if submerged for a long time with poor sealing, the car may likely leak. If the engine's intake system remains dry, drive the car to a repair shop to dismantle, clean, and dry the soaked interior.
