Can You Pour Cold Water on Overheated Tires?

No, it will accelerate the aging of the tire rubber surface and deformation of the wheel hub, and may even cause individual tire steel rims to crack, leading to severe traffic accidents. Below are some tire maintenance measures: Control tire temperature: When driving, the friction and deformation of the tires increase the internal temperature. When it exceeds 100°C, the tire's structural strength significantly decreases, making it highly susceptible to delamination, blowouts, and other damage. Tire temperature is difficult to measure directly, so it is usually judged based on the increase in tire pressure—the higher the tire pressure, the higher the tire temperature. Pre-drive inspection: Before driving, check the tires for bulges, cracks, cuts, punctures, underinflation, or abnormal wear. If any issues are found, they must be repaired immediately. Inspect the tire tread grooves for debris, metal fragments, glass, or stones lodged in them. If found, use a screwdriver to remove them.
