Flat Tire

A flat tire occurs when a tire loses air pressure, often due to a puncture or damage to the tire or inner tube. This loss of air causes the tire to become soft or completely deflated, impairing the vehicle's ability to roll smoothly. Flat tires can result from hitting road hazards like nails or potholes, or from wear and tear over time. When a tire is flat, it affects vehicle control, safety, and fuel efficiency. To fix a flat, the tire typically needs repairing or replacing, and the wheel must be properly re-inflated before driving again.
