Is It a Problem to Park Car Tires in Standing Water?
1 Answers
Parking car tires in water for a day or even a shorter period has no impact. However, if the tires are left submerged in water for an extended period or the vehicle is parked in standing water where the water level exceeds the wheel hubs, it can significantly affect the wheel hubs and braking components. Since both the wheel hubs and braking parts are made of metal, prolonged exposure to water can lead to oxidation, causing rust on the wheel hubs and braking components. This, in turn, can impair the vehicle's braking performance. Tire Maintenance: Check the tire pressure every 15 days, including the spare tire. Regularly perform wheel balancing to prevent the vehicle from pulling to one side. Usage Tips: Overinflating the tires during inflation can cause the tire tread to bulge.
