How Far Can You Drive on a Completely Flat Tire?
1 Answers
A flat tire can only be driven for a few hundred meters before it gets damaged. You should hold the steering wheel firmly, gradually reduce speed, pull over, and replace the tire immediately. When a tire is flat, the tire sidewall will directly rub against the ground, and the inner side of the tire wall will also rub against itself, so it's essential to replace the spare tire promptly or use a car air pump to inflate the tire. Here are the signs of a flat tire: 1. Heavier steering wheel: The increased friction between the tire and the ground makes the steering wheel harder to turn. 2. Vehicle imbalance: If a tire is flat, you can clearly feel the car tilting to one side. 3. Slower speed: The car will noticeably slow down, and acceleration will be more difficult than usual. 4. Driving noise: After a tire goes flat, the car will make a thumping sound while driving.
