If you have a flat tyre - why is it always the bit at the bottom ?
Answers:
Cus the thing that makes the hole is always at the bottom.
Because the weight of the car is pushing the air out, and it is against the road, so therefore looks flat, surely?
It's you who's got my joke book!
I noticed that too!
You never get a flat at the top!
I wonder why?????!!
It's beacuse all punctures are "Slightly rippled, with a flat underside".
Because that's the bit that baring the weight.
weight dude
The rigidity of the tire carcass won't allow it to collapse onto the rim, where as the weight of the vehicle will press down on top the tire under the rim.
The joys of gravity.
(and cr*p jokes)
Ha Ha some people don't get it
Murphy's law?
And when you buy a flat, why is it always up so many stairs?
Why, when you are looking for something, is it always in the last place you look (or were thinking of looking, which is more to the point!)
It's just one of those things, like the last bit of toothpaste, the last scrape of Marmite . the time you cut your tongue licking up the last bit from the sardine can.
As for the one who said "The thing that makes the hole is always at the bottom" . NOT true! It will always be on a very obvious place on the outer tube which bears no relation to the hole on the inner (if it's a bicycle) . or it will be impossible to find what made such a large hole.
When you have a flat tyre, it is always the time that you least needed it, too. Like you are dressed up for a wedding or have just 30 minutes to make a 28 minute journey or it's raining for the first time in months. Or a combination of all three!
Thats gravity for you
It is designed to stay at the bottom to avoid the "thump thump thump" that would otherwise occur as you roll to a stop.
I am rolling my eyes- I just had to look to see what evryone said to answer your question! LOL this is truly a silly question!
probably cause I'm a woman driver ,it's abit like the fact my car is fickle and has a strop if i put diesel in one week then petrol the next it's so unfair!!!
When you are driving, the tyres get hot and make the air inside hot.
Hot air rises, so when you get a flat any air left inside goes to the top.
Simple really. Tyre manufacturers make sure that the flat is always on the bottom so that your car dosn't roll away when you get out to look at it !!
At least it proves that the "there is no gravity, the earth sucks" brigade are wrong, otherwise it would be flat on the top, wouldn't it? Perhaps the earth pushes instead!??!
Hey Arthur S I love your answer.
Because it's never the bit at the top so it always has to be the bit at the bottom
