This video from Tática Civil tests whether a 9mm round can penetrate an SUV tire. The demonstration uses a Girsan Witness 2311 pistol equipped with a Gideon Judge red dot sight. The results show that 9mm rounds can indeed pierce the tire, causing it to deflate, and can also penetrate the tire to strike the vehicle's chassis.
This video demonstrates the penetration capabilities of the .22 Long Rifle cartridge against a fully inflated tire. The Walther P22, loaded with CCI Mini Mag 40 grain round nose ammunition, successfully penetrates both the tread and sidewall of a steel-belted radial tire. While penetration is confirmed, the leak rate is described as slow, suggesting the .22 LR is less effective at rapid deflation compared to larger calibers.
