how far can you ride on a flat tire

The distance you can ride on a flat tire depends on several factors:

1. Type of Tire: Car, bike, or other vehicle tires have different capabilities when flat.
2. Speed: Riding slowly can extend the distance, while higher speeds can damage the tire or rim.
3. Load: More weight on the vehicle reduces the distance.
4. Tire Condition: A completely flat tire versus one with some air.
5. Surface: Rough surfaces can cause more damage.

Car Tires: You can drive a short distance (1-2 miles) at low speed to avoid further damage.

Bike Tires: You may be able to ride a short distance carefully, but it’s not recommended as it can damage the wheel rim.

Truck or SUV Tires: Similar to cars, limited distance at low speed.

Always prioritize safety and avoid driving on a flat tire when possible. Use a spare or repair the tire as soon as possible.
