Is it easy for tires to burst when driving on highways in hot weather?

It is easy for tires to burst when driving on highways in hot weather. The reasons for tire bursts 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 burst. 2. Excessive tire pressure: Due to high-speed driving, the tire temperature rises, increasing the pressure and causing deformation. This reduces the elasticity of the tire body and increases the load on the car. If impacted, it may result in internal cracks or bursts. This is also the reason why tire bursts are more common in summer. 3. Insufficient tire pressure: When driving at high speeds (over 120 km/h), low tire pressure can cause 'harmonic vibration' in the tire body, generating significant resonant forces. If the tire is not strong enough or already damaged, it is prone to bursting. Additionally, insufficient pressure increases the tire's sinking amount, making the sidewalls more likely to touch the ground during sharp turns. The sidewall is the weakest part of the tire, and contact with the ground can also lead to bursts.
