Will driving on a flat run-flat tire damage the wheel rim?
1 Answers
Run-flat tires can continue to be driven for a short distance even when they are flat. In fact, run-flat tires are not actually "explosion-proof". These tires rely on their rigid sidewalls to support the vehicle and allow it to continue driving for a limited distance when the tire pressure is too low, enabling the driver to reach the nearest repair shop for tire repair. Precautions: 1. Tires are rubber products and will age over time. It is recommended that car owners replace their tires every four years, even if the mileage is low. 2. When purchasing tires, pay attention to the production date. The shelf life of unused tires is three years, so do not buy tires that are more than three years old.
