you
don’t want to do when your vehicle is stuck is

your
wheels

you let your tires spin
at
high speed, they can
explode, and you or others could be injured. And,

overheat. That could cause an engine
compartment fire or other damage. When you’re
stuck, spin the wheels
as
little as possible. Don’t
spin the wheels above
