Will Tire Deformation Automatically Recover?
2 Answers
Tire deformation will not automatically recover. Below is an introduction to car tires: Introduction: Car tires are one of the important components of a vehicle, directly in contact with the road surface. Usage Tips: Avoid starting the car too abruptly; whether the vehicle is empty or loaded, always start smoothly at low speed. When driving on good road conditions, maintain a straight path. When descending a long slope, control the speed appropriately based on the slope's steepness, length, and road conditions. When climbing a slope, make use of the vehicle's inertia, shift gears timely, and ensure the vehicle maintains adequate power. Avoid waiting until the car stops before restarting to minimize tire wear.
Having driven for so many years, I've seen quite a few cases of tire deformation, especially when a car is left parked in the garage for months without moving—the flattened side of the tire looks deformed. In reality, tire deformation rarely recovers on its own because once the rubber or internal structure of the tire is damaged or aged, it can't bounce back. For example, if a tire has been underinflated for a long time or has hit a hard curb, causing the internal cord layers to tear, the deformation becomes permanent, and continuing to drive poses a risk of a blowout. I once had a car where I neglected this issue out of carelessness, and it ended up shaking violently on the highway. Eventually, I had to replace the tires to feel safe again. That’s why now, before every drive, I make it a habit to check the tire pressure, keeping it at the recommended value—around 32 PSI—and I rotate the tires regularly to extend their lifespan, as mentioned in the maintenance manual. You really can’t afford to be careless. Tire condition directly affects driving safety and comfort, so addressing issues promptly is the wisest approach.
