What to Do If a Car Without a Spare Tire Gets a Flat?

[VanKinsley]

If a car without a spare tire gets a flat while driving, you should promptly stabilize the steering wheel and gradually come to a stop. Then, set up a warning triangle behind the vehicle and call your insurance company or roadside assistance to explain the lack of a spare tire and request a tow truck. The causes of tire wear are as follows: 1. Excessive wear on both sides: The main reasons are insufficient inflation or prolonged overloading. When the tire pressure is low or the load is heavy, the contact area between the tire and the ground increases, causing the edges of the tire to make contact and wear prematurely. 2. Excessive wear on one side: The primary cause is misaligned front-wheel positioning. When the camber angle of the front wheels is too large, the outer edges of the tires wear prematurely. Conversely, if the camber angle is too small or nonexistent, the inner edges wear prematurely. 3. Sawtooth wear on the tread: The main reasons are improper front-wheel alignment or issues with the front suspension system, such as loose ball joints, which cause the normally rolling wheels to slip or continuously change alignment while driving, resulting in sawtooth wear on the tires.
