How far can you drive with a damaged tire?
1 Answers
Normally, a regular damaged tire can still be driven for about thirty kilometers. If it's a run-flat tire, you can continue driving at low speed for approximately 100 kilometers. For other types of tires, it's recommended not to drive too far, as it depends on the severity of the tire blowout. However, regardless of the type of tire, in case of a blowout, it's essential to go to the nearest repair shop for inspection or tire repair to avoid potential traffic accidents. Tires are circular elastic rubber products installed on various vehicles or mechanical equipment, typically mounted on metal rims. They support the vehicle body, cushion external impacts, ensure proper contact with the ground, and maintain the vehicle's driving performance. Tires are frequently used under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and high-low temperature effects during operation. Therefore, they need to possess high installation performance, traction performance, and cushioning performance. When determining that a front tire has blown out, first firmly grip the steering wheel and remember not to make sudden adjustments to the direction. Wait until the direction stabilizes, then gradually apply the brakes to reduce the vehicle's speed. Next, gently turn the steering wheel to pull over, and place a triangular warning sign approximately 100-200 meters behind the vehicle. If it's a rear tire blowout, the vehicle's deviation effect will be less pronounced. In this case, you should ease off the accelerator, gently apply the brakes, control the direction, and slowly pull the vehicle to the side. Then, place a triangular warning sign about 100-200 meters behind the vehicle.
