What are the causes of tire blowouts on highways?
1 Answers
The causes of tire blowouts on highways are: 1. Overly tightened brakes, causing the brake pads to generate heat due to friction during driving, leading to a blowout; 2. Insufficient tire inflation, resulting in prolonged friction with the ground and heat buildup, which can cause a blowout. Methods for tire maintenance include: 1. Regularly cleaning out stones stuck in tire treads; 2. Reducing exposure to direct sunlight; 3. Promptly checking tire pressure; 4. Paying attention to suspension maintenance; 5. Regularly inspecting front wheel alignment; 6. Being mindful of driving habits. The functions of tires are: 1. Supporting the entire weight of the vehicle and bearing the load; 2. Transmitting traction and braking torque to ensure adhesion between the wheels and the road surface; 3. Absorbing and reducing vibrations and impacts during driving, preventing severe vibrations and premature damage to vehicle components; 4. Enhancing high-speed performance, reducing noise during driving, and ensuring safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
