Yes. Zero miles should be driven on the flat. The tire will be destroyed as well as the wheel.
Flat Tire Repair
Such a bummer this morning.
Got a Flat Tire on my P-Zero's 305's (2022 SPWB).
How far do you think I can drive with a flat tire?
My dealership is 4 miles away - if I drove that many miles do you think I'd cause damage to suspension?
Thanks!

Sounds like I need to get a Jack and change the tire.
Is there any warranty service from Dodge that I may be able to get help with?

Get the 12V compressor out of the trunk and air it up.
Back in the car roll your gauges to the tire pressure monitoring page and keep an eye on it.
If it is holding air, drive to the shop. If it gets below 20 psi then stop and pump it up again.
This provided that you haven't already lost the bead on the tire and it can be aired up. 4 miles? Give it a shot.

Never drive on a Flat Tire is dangerous and will cause damage.
Depends on how deep your pockets are. The correct answer, as others have said, is zero distance. If it's just a nail in the tread, then it may be able to be repaired. Drive even 20 feet on a flat tire and you'll chew up the sidewalls of the tire rendering it trash. Drive further than that and you will undoubtedly destroy your wheel.How far do you think I can drive with a flat tire?
So driving 21 feet on a flat tire will "undoubtedly" ruin a wheel......I learned something new on the internet todayDepends on how deep your pockets are.

I was just speaking in general. Drive the 4 miles the OP was asking about and he sure would.
Just being snarky today.....I know what you meant🙄

If you ride on a fairly under inflated for a distance you will over heat it and find lots of rubber particles inside from the sidewalls disintegrating. You also will either just mar the rim or bend it.
Did not know about the sidewalls thing.
Great info - i am going to try the V12 after work as suggested by Slidd.
I also found out that Mopar has Roadside Assistance. They were talking about towing my car if tire is fully flat. I am uncomfortable with towing - what if there is damage?

Distance on a flat? Far enough to get the car safely off the road and stopped. Not another inch.
The air compressor in your trunk has a foam substance that you can put in the tire. Kind of like fix a flat. Also, two things, get the mopar tire and wheel protection you will be covered, and also get rid of those P Zeros they suck I would go with michelin pilot sport 4s. You will be fine to get to the dealer once you fill it up.
I wouldn't put any sealer in it unless I had to, just air it up and see if it will hold air.

Seems that the tires are covered by the tire manufacturer. I doubt the Dodge would cover it. How could they warranty a tire that was deflated by some sort of damage? I doubt they'd warranty a dent in the door placed there by some ignoramus. Same Situation I'd think.Did not know about the sidewalls thing.

As far as towing, most are loaded onto a flatbed tow truck. Little chance for damage.
i once drove my pickup with bfg mud terrains from camp 4 miles on half dirt half asphalt to get it fixed and it didnt do a thing to harm it but i did drive very slow. no phone no spare so it was take a chance or walk out. then another time i got a flat on my 87 iroc and drove it less then an 1/8 of a mile through town becase i was to lazy to take it off and figured if the truck went that far surely the car would and it destroyed the wheel and tire. looked like someone took a hammer to the rim of the wheel

The tire manufacturer will only cover factory defects- not road damage. The only exception would be if you bought wheel and tire insurance from the dealer.
If your flat was caused by a nail, I would just plug it and inflate it with your air compressor. As others have said, DO NOT drive on a flat tire. After it is inflated, I would take it to a garage to install a more permanent internal patch.
Note- You can only use tire plugs if the puncture or hole is located on the tread of your tire. If the puncture is located on the tire’s shoulder or sidewall, do not attempt to fix it with a tire plug. You will have to replace the tire since it is the safest solution.

Excellent kit to always have on-hand. I’ve used this kit numerous times over the past 20 years to fix nails in tires. Got a nail in one of my Charger’s tire last summer and whipped out this kit. Been fine ever since.
*Yes, I know these kits are not necessarily meant as a permanent repair. I’ve patches countless tires this way though and have yet to have one fail on me. I like living dangerously but also routinely check tire pressures on every vehicle I own and drive.
At our shop, if there is fix a flat inside, the tire, we won't repair it. Needs a new tire. At least the fix a flat gets you where you need to go without changing the tire.I wouldn't put any sealer in it unless I had to, just air it up and see if it will hold air.

Back in the day I used to wash it out, repair the tire and it would be good to go, and I never saw a tire fail after that repair.
