How to Prevent Vehicle Tire Blowouts in Summer?

[StevenLynn]

Do not drive at high speeds for extended periods, and avoid pouring cold water on overheated tires. Here are the relevant details: 1. Avoid prolonged high-speed driving: The internal pressure of car tires is already very high, and when combined with the weight of the vehicle and its load, the pressure on the tires is nearly at maximum capacity. In summer, the internal temperature of the tires rises with the external temperature, further increasing the internal pressure. Long-distance high-speed driving accelerates this process. It's like an overinflated balloon—when encountering sharp objects like stones or prolonged friction, it can explode. 2. Do not pour cold water on overheated tires: When a car is parked outdoors under the sun, the tire temperature rises, especially during long-distance high-speed driving. Many car owners are aware that high temperature and pressure can cause tire blowouts, so they stop to cool down the tires. However, to save time, some choose to pour cold water on them, thinking it will cool them quickly. But pouring cold water directly can deform the tires, and if it reaches the brake pads, the consequences can be even more severe. Therefore, taking a break every two hours is the most reasonable approach.
