What to Do When a Car Tire Goes Flat, Can You Still Drive?

[DiValentina]

You should not continue driving when a car tire goes flat. Driving under such conditions can damage the car's rims and, in severe cases, harm the vehicle's suspension. Most modern cars come equipped with a spare tire or temporary tire repair fluid for emergencies. If a tire goes flat, you can use these emergency supplies first and then slowly drive the car to a 4S shop or repair shop for servicing. If the situation is severe, it is advisable to replace the tire with a new one directly. The symptoms of a flat tire are as follows: 1. Steering wheel becomes heavy: The increased friction between the tire and the ground makes steering more difficult, resulting in a heavier steering wheel. 2. Car imbalance: If a tire is flat, you will noticeably feel the car tilting to one side. 3. Reduced speed: The car's speed will significantly decrease, and acceleration will require more effort than usual. 4. Driving noise: When driving with a flat tire, the car will produce a sound similar to 'thud, thud, thud.'
