What Happens When Wheels Are Parked in Water?
1 Answers
Parking wheels in water for a short period has no impact, but prolonged exposure can cause wheel damage. Additional information: 1. Reasons: Submerging car tires in water for a day or less has no effect, but long-term immersion significantly impacts wheel rims and brake components. Since both rims and brake parts are metal, water exposure triggers oxidation, leading to rust formation that compromises braking performance. 2. Solutions: For minor rust on rims or brake components, light sanding removes corrosion for normal use. Severe corrosion requires complete tire replacement.
