How to Handle a Tire Blowout on the Highway?
1 Answers
If a tire suddenly bursts while driving, do not panic. Pull the car over to the side and call the police for assistance. The main causes of tire blowouts are as follows: 1. Tire leakage: When punctured by nails or other sharp objects without immediate rupture, the tire may leak air, leading to a blowout. 2. Excessive tire pressure: At high speeds, tire temperature rises, increasing pressure and causing deformation. This reduces the tire's elasticity and increases the load on the vehicle, potentially leading to internal cracks or blowouts upon impact. This is also why blowout accidents are more common in summer.
