Tires: driven on flat tire, can i reuse it?, ecsta asx, tire dealer
QuestionBarry:
I was wondering if I could re-use my tires after driving with it flat for a couple of miles. Parts of it was about 55MPH. The flattened tire has about +35,000 miles on it and is khumo ecsta ASX.
Can I re-use that tire? or would you recommend getting a new one? If it needs to be replaced, would you recommend changing all four to have even tread?
Thanks in advance!

AnswerWendell,
I'm going to guess the tire is trash. I can not imagine that any tire would survive driving a couple of miles with no pressure.
And with 35K miles on it, it is probably best to get 4 new ones.
But this ought to be discussed with the tire dealer - who can actually look at the tires and give you a better assessment.
