Will driving 10 kilometers after a flat tire damage the wheel rim?

[JamesonLee]

Continuing to drive 10 kilometers after a flat tire will cause deformation of the wheel rim. For a standard flat tire, the correct approach is to pull over promptly, replace the spare tire, and then drive to a repair shop or 4S dealership for further handling. The car tire is one of the essential components of a vehicle, typically mounted on a metal rim to support the body, absorb external impacts, maintain contact with the road surface, and ensure driving performance. The specific functions of tires are as follows: 1. Medium for force transmission between the vehicle and the road: The vehicle transmits driving force, braking force, steering force, etc., through the tires, enabling operations such as acceleration, braking, and steering. 2. Supporting the vehicle load: The vehicle's load causes the tire to compress until the average pressure on the tire's contact area balances with the internal inflation pressure. 3. Reducing and absorbing vibrations and impacts during driving: This prevents excessive vibrations from causing premature damage to vehicle components.
