What is a "flat tire"?
A flat tire refers to a tire that has lost air pressure, usually due to a puncture, leak, or damage. When a tire is flat, it becomes unable to properly support the weight of the vehicle, making it difficult or impossible to drive safely. This condition can cause the vehicle to handle poorly, and in some cases, it can lead to further damage if not addressed. A flat tire often requires repair or replacement to restore the vehicle's ability to drive properly.
Examples
