What to Do When Car Wheels Are Frozen?
2 Answers
There are 3 methods to solve the problem when car wheels are frozen: 1. Prepare a large amount of warm water with a small amount of salt to melt the ice: Remember that the temperature of the warm water should not be too high; then use both hands to scoop the water and pour it onto the frozen parts. 2. Insert the car inverter power connector into the cigarette lighter: Purchase a car inverter from a professional auto repair shop, insert the car inverter power connector into the cigarette lighter, and then direct it to melt the frozen parts. 3. If the freezing on the car wheels is not very obvious, you can try starting the car and moving it back and forth.
Last month, I encountered the trouble of frozen car wheels. After heavy snow, the tires seemed sealed and wouldn't budge. I first tried gently tapping the outer side of the tires to relieve the freezing, but when that didn't work, I switched to pouring warm water (not boiling, to avoid damaging the rubber), which took effect in a few hours. Later, I installed wheel protection covers—thick and waterproof ones—or parked in the garage to block out the cold. I've also summarized preventive measures: wipe the wheel hubs dry immediately after rain and apply rust inhibitor regularly to prevent corrosion. The lesson was profound—paying attention to winter driving details can save a lot of trouble, especially for northern car owners who should prepare a toolkit in advance.
