– How do tyre spikes stop a car?

A vehicle can still be driven some distance on a flat tyre or even two, so how do the police-deployed tyre spikes stop a vehicle so completely over such a short distance?

It pops all four tires as the car drives over it. The tires burst or deflate and the car has zero traction or grip on the road. There is also much more friction from the weight of the car which slows it down. When the car can’t drive quickly or maneuver the roadway, it’s easy for police to catch up and box the car in or perform pit maneuvers
