Can You Change a Flat Tire on the Emergency Lane of a Highway?

[ElisaLynn]

You can change a flat tire on the emergency lane of a highway. Here are some methods to prevent tire blowouts: 1. Use radial tires: Radial tires have a softer carcass and a belt layer made of high-strength, low-stretch fabric or steel cords, making them more resistant to impact, with lower rolling resistance and energy consumption, making them ideal for highway driving. 2. Use low-pressure tires: Low-pressure tires offer good elasticity, a wide cross-section, a large contact area with the road, thin walls, and excellent heat dissipation. These features improve driving smoothness and steering stability, significantly extending tire life and preventing blowouts. 3. Maintain standard tire pressure: Tire life is closely related to air pressure. When tires overheat due to excessive pressure, do not release air or pour cold water on the tires to cool them, as this accelerates tire aging. For underinflated tires, drivers should promptly inflate them and check for slow leaks to replace them with tires that have better airtightness.
