Will There Be Any Impact If Tires Are Soaked in Water Overnight?
2 Answers
Tires being soaked in water overnight will not have any impact. The following is an introduction to tire pressure-related content: 1. Function of low-pressure tires: Low-pressure tires are mainly used for private cars. 2. Function of high-pressure tires: High-pressure tires are mainly used for large trucks or passenger vehicles. 3. Tire pressure: The tire pressure for cars running on highways is 2.5 kilograms per cubic centimeter. The following is extended information about car tires: 1. Cushioning impact: Car tires are one of the important components of a car, directly in contact with the road surface, and together with the car suspension, they cushion the impact received during driving. 2. Comfort: Ensuring the car has good ride comfort and smooth driving, ensuring good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, improving the car's traction, braking, and off-road capability, and bearing the weight of the car.
Last year, my car tires accidentally stayed submerged in rainwater overnight. The next day when I drove, I felt the steering wheel wobbling a bit. After taking it to the repair shop for inspection, I found out the wheel rims had rusted. The mechanic said water had seeped in and corroded the metal parts. The tire rubber absorbed water and deformed, significantly affecting the balance. He cleaned the rims thoroughly and let the tires air out for half a day before everything returned to normal. Since then, I’ve been extra careful about parking locations, avoiding areas with standing water because water is no good—it can cause tires to age and crack prematurely, increasing safety risks. If this happens often, replacing new tires would cost more. If you feel excessive vibration while driving, pull over immediately to check to avoid losing control at high speeds.
