Should a Bulging Car Tire Sidewall Be Replaced?
1 Answers
The occurrence of tire bulging is mostly due to unexpected strong impacts during use, which cause severe compression deformation between the impact object and the rim flange, leading to broken cords in the tire sidewall. At this point, the air inside the tire will push out from the broken cords, forming a "bulge." Hazards of car tire bulging: Bulging is a common phenomenon of tire wear. If not addressed promptly, due to accelerated rolling or excessive friction heat, it can easily lead to sudden rupture at the bulging area, resulting in an explosion. Statistics show that the vast majority of tire blowouts are caused by bulging. Tips to prevent bulging: When installing tires, go to a professional tire shop and use specialized tire installation equipment and procedures. Try to avoid driving on poor road conditions for extended periods. If unavoidable, keep the speed as slow as possible, as slower speeds reduce the adverse effects of tire impacts on road obstacles. Develop a good tire maintenance habit and check the condition of the tires before each trip.
