Is It a Big Problem for Tires to Run Over Curb Stones?
1 Answers
Tires running over curb stones is a significant issue. Even at slightly higher speeds, hitting a curb can cause damage to the tires, potentially leading to a blowout. Here are some precautions to take when driving over curb stones: 1. Drive slowly, as higher speeds increase the force between the tire and the curb, making it more likely to damage the tire. When driving straight onto a curb, avoid areas with damaged edges, as these spots can harm the tires. 2. If approaching the curb from the side, it's better to reverse onto it. This is because the front tires control the direction of the vehicle. Driving forward first can cause the inner side of the rear tires to rub against the curb, damaging the tire sidewalls.
