Can New Tires Bulge?
1 Answers
New tires can bulge. When the cords in the tire's sidewall break, the internal air escapes through the broken cords, barely held back by the thin rubber layer, which is the cause of tire bulging. Tire bulging poses a significant safety hazard. Once a bulge is detected, the spare tire should be immediately installed, and the vehicle should be driven to a repair shop for tire replacement. Reasons for bulging: If a vehicle's tire bulges, especially when driving continuously under high temperatures, it is highly prone to a blowout, severely compromising driving safety. Apart from installation and manufacturing defects, most tire bulges occur due to accidental impacts with obstacles during use, causing localized breaks in the sidewall cords. Measures to prevent tire bulging: When installing tires, visit a professional tire shop and use specialized tire installation equipment and procedures; try to avoid prolonged driving on poor road conditions. If unavoidable, keep the speed as slow as possible.
