Reasons for Blowout of Newly Replaced Tires
2 Answers
Reasons for blowout of newly replaced tires are as follows: Tire Leakage: When punctured by nails or other sharp objects without immediate rupture, the tire may experience air leakage, leading to a blowout. Excessive Tire Pressure: During high-speed driving, tire temperature rises, increasing air pressure and causing tire deformation. This reduces the tire body's elasticity and increases the dynamic load on the vehicle. If subjected to impact, internal cracks or blowouts may occur, which is why blowout incidents are more common in summer. Insufficient Tire Pressure: At high speeds (exceeding 120km/h), insufficient tire pressure can cause harmonic vibrations in the tire body, generating significant resonant forces. If the tire is not sturdy enough or already damaged, it is prone to blowouts. Additionally, low pressure increases the tire's sinking amount, making the sidewalls more likely to touch the ground during sharp turns. Since the sidewall is the weakest part of the tire, contact with the ground can also lead to blowouts.
As a regular customer at auto repair shops, I've seen many friends experience blowouts with newly replaced tires, often due to installation errors. For instance, overinflating the tire can cause it to burst under high pressure; or mismatched rims can lead to excessive friction and rupture on the road. Failing to clean the rim of dust or sharp objects during installation can easily cut the tire. Additionally, driving at high speeds without properly breaking in new tires can cause faster tread deformation. It's advisable to have the mechanic carefully check the tire pressure after each replacement, using a gauge to ensure it's within the proper range. Avoid overloading or sudden braking, and regularly inspect tire wear to significantly reduce risks and drive with greater peace of mind.
