How Tires Can Become Damaged

The most common damage which occurs is driving over a nail or screw left in a road or parking lot, puncturing the tread and causing a slow leak. Such damage is fairly simple to patch and repair with a specialty plug designed for just such an instance. The tread or sidewall can also become damaged after driving over a heavy pothole or road debris, which is far less likely to be repairable. The third type of damage, that of a broken valve stem, is usually a simple repair as the stem can be replaced if the surrounding area wasn't also damaged.

Driving on Old Tires

When tires get old and lose tread, they become unsafe to drive on. In the best of conditions, the vehicle loses traction for handling and stopping, which gets even worse on rainy days or icy roads. Eventually, the worst scenario is the tire will go flat while driving. Such a situation is dangerous when it happens, as well as trying to replace the tire on the side of the road.

Considerations for Flat Tires

A further consideration is that someone who has driven on old tires to the point they are literally failing during regular driving probably hasn't maintained the spare tire, meaning it won't even be usable as a temporary replacement. That means the driver is stranded on the side of the road, having to either call a friend or walk to safety.
