Can replacing cracked or damaged tires prevent blowouts?

[DelGia]

Replacing cracked or damaged tires can prevent blowouts. The main causes of tire blowouts are: 1. Low tire pressure: This leads to excessive contact between the tire sidewall and the road surface, causing the sidewall to wear and overheat. As tire temperature rises rapidly, the sidewall may eventually burst when worn beyond a certain point. 2. Overused tires: Generally, 5-6 years is the maximum lifespan for tires. Beyond this period, severe aging occurs with numerous cracks developing, making blowouts more likely. 3. Structural damage to tires: Issues like bulges or deformations indicate internal structural failure, which can result in blowouts.
