5. Tire maintenance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_maintenance

   Having the correct air pressure in your vehicle's tires lets your vehicle perform in the most efficient way possible. When objects such as a screw or nail puncture a tire, it creates a small leak in the tire. This leads to under-inflation of the tire. When a tire is under-inflated, it causes the inside of the tire to heat up.

7. Self-sealing fuel tank - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-sealing_fuel_tank

   When a fuel tank is punctured the fuel seeps into these layers, causing the untreated layer to swell, closing and thus sealing the puncture. A similar concept is also employed for making self-sealing run-flat tires.
