    is it okay to leave tire na flat for the whole week?

    well i ask this because naflat ung tire namin last weekend and be fix this coming weekend(saturday) as i am not around for the whole weekdays.

    ano kaya masisira sa sasakyan? ung gulong is luma na rin (stock)

    +1 with weremanok. if you can why don't you just put that wheel on jack stands so your flat tire don't get strained too much. OR better yet, why don't you put on your spare tire first?

    Leaving it that way is bad on the steel belts of the tires. It will deform when left for a long period of time.

    yup, if you're replacing the tire anyway, it doesn't matter. the rim should be able to support the weight of the car without itself deforming.

    pwede rin pa jack up mo then place a stand na di nakawin like kahoy na pinag patong. sayang ang goma, baka magkalamat para mapunit or bukol in the end.
