Can Tubeless Tires Burst?
2 Answers
Tubeless tires can burst. The maintenance methods for tires include: 1. Regularly clean stones from the tire treads; 2. Reduce exposure to sunlight; 3. Frequently check tire pressure; 4. Pay attention to suspension maintenance; 5. Regularly inspect front wheel alignment; 6. Be mindful of driving habits, choosing smooth roads to avoid objects that can puncture or scratch the tires, and steer clear of chemical spills that may corrode the tires. The functions of tires are: 1. Support the entire weight of the vehicle and bear the vehicle's load; 2. Transmit traction and braking torque to ensure adhesion between the wheels and the road surface; 3. Mitigate and absorb vibrations and impacts during driving, preventing severe vibrations and premature damage to vehicle components; 4. Adapt to the high-speed performance of the vehicle, reduce driving noise, and ensure safety, handling stability, comfort, and energy efficiency.
Even tubeless tires can still get punctured. From my own driving experience, tubeless tires are indeed much more reliable than traditional inner tube tires and less prone to sudden blowouts. But don't forget, they're not made of steel. If you drive too fast over a big pothole or get punctured by nails or sharp stones on the road, the air pressure will drop rapidly. Last time I was rushing on the highway, my tire got a big gash from a piece of glass, causing the car to swerve and nearly leading to an accident. Luckily, I stayed calm and steadied the steering wheel. So now I've developed a habit: before getting in the car, I always bend down to check the tires, making sure the pressure isn't too low or too high, and replacing them promptly if the tread is severely worn. The advantage of tubeless tires is that they lose air slowly, giving you time to pull over safely, unlike old tires that burst dramatically. But don't neglect maintenance—regularly inspect the sidewalls and tread depth. Safety comes first. In short, tubeless tires reduce the risk, but the possibility of a blowout still exists. Driving cautiously is the most important thing.
