It is not serious if a car tire gets scraped by the curb. Precautions for tires: The structure, strength, as well as the usage pressure and speed of tires are strictly calculated and determined by the manufacturer. Using tires beyond the standard, such as overloading, will affect their lifespan. Overloading by 10% reduces tire life by 20%; overloading by 30% increases rolling resistance by 45%-60%, and fuel consumption will also increase. Moreover, overloading itself is strictly prohibited by traffic laws. Severe situations: In severe cases, the tire undergoes significant deformation, and the important internal component, the cord, may break due to excessive compression and stretching, leading to bulging of the tire and increasing the risk of a blowout. In such cases, the tire should be replaced promptly.
