Frequently Asked Questions About Flat Tires
What happens if my tires are flat?
Do not drive on a flat tire. A fully inflated tire is necessary to support the weight of your vehicle. If there is not enough air in the tire, it can cause internal and external damage. Also, the material inside the tire can be damaged beyond repair.
How can I tell if my tire treads are worn?
One tried and true method is to try the Penny Test. This involves placing Lincoln’s face upside down into the tire tread. If the tire covers his head, there is more than 2/32 of an inch of depth, and thus more tread life to your tires. But if his head is visible, its time to replace your tires.
Is it safe to drive on a repaired tire?
Yes, especially when compared to driving on a flat tire. A patched tire repair is better and safer. There are no safety concerns with a well-patched tire, and it’s actually the best way to handle flat tires. It’s safe to drive on a patched tire regardless of how rugged or rocky the roads get.
