Expert Mechanic Reveals Critical Signs of a Flat Tire and Why You Should Never Drive on One
A recent video featuring mechanic Juan José Ebenezer from Talleres Ebenezer highlights crucial signs of a flat tire and the dangers of continuing to drive with one. The expert demonstrates how a deflated tire can quickly escalate from a minor puncture to irreparable damage, potentially costing hundreds of euros for a full tire replacement instead of a simple repair. Ebenezer explains that without a tire pressure monitoring system, drivers can identify a flat tire by several key symptoms. These include a noticeable loss of vehicle stability, where the car may feel 'gummy' or unstable. When driving straight, the vehicle tends to pull towards the side of the flat tire. Braking also becomes challenging, with the car veering sharply in the direction of the deflated tire, requiring exaggerated counter-steering. Additionally, turning or navigating roundabouts can feel unusual, as the tire struggles to maintain grip, causing erratic steering responses. Vibrations through the steering wheel and small 'hops' from the affected wheel are also clear indicators. The mechanic emphasizes that driving on a flat tire causes the tire's sidewall to be crushed between the wheel rim and the road, effectively cutting the rubber. He strongly advises carrying a portable tire inflator, stating it is an 'indispensable' tool that can provide a temporary solution to reach a repair shop and prevent further damage.
