Why is the force on the steering greater when the tire is flat?

There is more surface area contact between the road and the flat tire translating into more friction between the two surfaces, which increases the amount of force required to change direction.

What type of simple machine are the treads on a tire?
The treads on a tire are created by a mold. The tire is placed in the mold and heat and steam compress the tire and the mold forms the tread.
what is the basic function of an air valve?
The basic function of an air valve is to control the release of air that is under pressure. Common places where an air valve would be used is on an inflatable tire. It is used to add more tire pressure to the tire.
How long does it take for a tire to be manufactured?
For a passenger car it takes about 25 minutes to manufacture 1 tire. This includes both vulcanization and curing processes. For larger off-road or truck tires it could take up to 24 hours or longer to produce a single tire. Its the curing process that takes the most time. The vulcanizing process only takes 10 minutes for a passenger car tire but increases by some minute the larger the size of the tire.
Who invented the air-filled tire?
If you meant tyre (british) or tire than the answer is Rober William Thomson and he invented it in 1846. John Boyd Dunlop is often erroneously given credit for the invention but he did not develop his tire until 1889. Please note that both Thomson and Dunlop called it a tire not a tyre, though many others in the 19th century did call it a tyre.
Why did Charles Goodyear invent the tire?
Charles Goodyear did not invent the tire. Goodyear is credited with the development of vulcanized rubber. Indeed, when he developed vulcanized rubber, its intended use was not for tires. At the time, he trying to develop a stable rubber tube for use in inflating life preservers. In 1888, John Dunlop invented the first air-filled or pneumatic tire. It was used for bicycles. Phillip Strauss invented the first successful tire for the automobile in 1911. It was a combination tire with an air-filled inner tube.
Why does a flat tire spin faster?
A flat tire spins faster for a couple of reasons. This could happen because there is no force holding it back. A soft or flat tire has a smaller circumference which forces the tire to spin faster to keep up the same speed.
What would make your car wobble feeling like a flat tire at low speeds?
broken belt in a tire. if you feel it in the steering wheel it usually a front tire or a rear if you can feel it in the seat
Why does my car steering wheel vibrate at high speed?
Vibration of the tire is caused by a uniformity parameter called "variation of radial force". Usually a vehicle's steering wheel will vibrate (called torsional nimble) at a certain speed. This vibration is caused by the harmonics of this radial force. Picture the side view of a tire with different size springs within it. The force of these springs cause a distortion of this force and you feel this distortion in the steering wheel.
Why would a longer wrench help loosening a back tire on a bike?
The longer wrench gives greater leverage. It allows a greater force to be applied to the tire at the jaw end with much less force being used at the far end of the wrench.
What would cause a vibration in the steering wheel and a smell of burning rubber after 10 minutes of driving?
A flat tire is one possibility
If after you had a flat tire repaired your steering wheel started shaking what could be wrong?
Did they balance the wheel when they changed the tire? The other thing that may be off is the tracking, especially if you drove for any distance on the flat. Get theses fixed or your tires will wear unevenly.
