flat tires

Roadside repair reasons

Flat tires are tires that have lost their air pressure, making them unable to support a vehicle.

The phrase also appears as slang for small breasts, comparing their lack of curve to a deflated tire: She joked about her flat tires.

This usage is crude and potentially offensive.
