Is it harmful if a tire runs over and breaks a glass bottle?
1 Answers
Whether glass shards damage car tires depends on the situation. If the glass shards the tire runs over are not sharp, the tire is generally fine. This is because car tires often encounter small stones and glass fragments during driving, and the tread structure of car tires is quite robust, containing steel wires inside. Hazards of low tire pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface leads to higher fuel consumption; factors such as increased tendency to veer, which are detrimental to driving safety; increased movement in various parts of the tire causes abnormal heating due to excessive rolling; reduced functionality of the cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction between the tire and rim causing damage to the bead area and abnormal wear; The friction between the tire and the ground multiplies, causing a sharp rise in tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving under these conditions may lead to a blowout; increased deformation of the tire body makes the sidewalls prone to cracking, while flexing movements generate excessive heat, accelerating rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layers, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, hastening wear on the tire shoulders.
