Bullet_Magnate Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Currently, if a tire on a vehicle is at low condition, it can burst while driving -- which causes it to detach. Similarly, if you drive a vehicle that has a tire with low / no tire pressure, that tire will just fall off with out warning. (This is irrespective of the tire's condition -- that is, you can have a tire that is at 100% condition, but if it has low pressure it'll just fall off.) I get it that there needs to be a consequence to driving around on low / flat tires, but the current approach just doesn't make sense. IRL, driving on low / flat tires makes a VERY clear sound that should warn the driver (that lovely flapflapflapflapflap noise that signals impending pedestrian-hood). So, there should be a warning sound if low tire pressure is causing a severe problem while driving. Also IRL, low / flat tires don't just pop off of vehicles. Instead, they start to weaken / take damage. Flat tires driven at high speeds can (as I understand it) shred pretty quickly. I'd really like to see this scenario change so that (1) driving on a low / flat tire makes a sound indicating that condition; (2) continuing to drive in that condition will damage the tire(s); and (3) destroyed tires perform horribly, but don't detach from the vehicle. (Destroyed tires would have to be removed before they can be replaced.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
