Can Water Be Used to Extinguish a Tire Fire?
1 Answers
Tire fires cannot be extinguished with water; professional fire extinguishers must be used. The maintenance methods for tires include: 1. Regularly clean stones from the tire treads; 2. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight; 3. Monitor tire pressure promptly; 4. Pay attention to suspension maintenance; 5. Regularly check front wheel alignment; 6. Adopt proper driving techniques, choosing smooth road surfaces to avoid objects that could puncture or damage the tires, and steer clear of chemical spills that may corrode the tires. The functions of tires are: 1. Transmit driving force, braking force, and steering force to enable vehicle operation; 2. Support vehicle loads; 3. Absorb shocks and vibrations during driving, preventing severe vibrations from damaging vehicle components.
