How Long Does It Take for Tires to Be Affected by Soaking in Water?
1 Answers
Soaking car tires in water for a day or even a shorter period has no impact. However, if the tires are submerged in water for an extended period or the vehicle is parked in standing water that covers the wheel hubs, it can significantly affect the wheel hubs and brake components. Here are some rainy-day parking tips: Watch for standing water: When parking, always pay attention to standing water on the ground and avoid parking in such areas if possible. If you must park in a waterlogged spot, do not leave the vehicle there for too long. Water ingress measures: If the brake system gets wet, do not park immediately. Instead, drive a short distance while frequently applying the brakes to generate heat, which helps evaporate the water before parking.
