Will driving on a flat tire for a distance completely ruin the tire?
1 Answers
Not necessarily. However, it is not recommended to continue driving with low tire pressure. The specific details are as follows: 1. Consequences: Driving with insufficient tire pressure can cause excessive flexing of the tire body, which generates high heat. This heat can burn the inner liner rubber into black spots, leading to separation between the rubber and the tire carcass fabric. In more severe cases, the inner liner rubber may melt due to the high heat, causing the internal structure of the tire to be severely damaged. 2. Safety hazards: Continuing to drive with weakened tire strength can eventually lead to tire damage, and in more serious cases, it may cause a tire blowout, posing safety risks.
