What are the signs of a car tire blowout?
2 Answers
Signs of a car tire blowout include: 1. Small bubble-like protrusions appearing on the tire; 2. Excessive tire wear leading to shallow tread patterns or visible tread wear indicators; 3. Abnormal internal tire pressure; 4. Cracks appearing on the tire sidewall. The functions of a tire are to support the entire weight of the vehicle, transmit traction and braking torque, prevent vibration and damage to vehicle components, and ensure driving safety. The process for replacing a tire: 1. Loosen the screws; 2. Lift the vehicle with a jack; 3. Remove the screws securing the wheel (counterclockwise to loosen, clockwise to tighten); 4. Remove the tire; 5. Install the new wheel.
I've been driving for over a decade, and a flat tire is no joke. The signs are right in front of you, like the steering wheel suddenly shaking violently, as if someone is shaking it hard. At this point, the car also starts to pull to one side, and the noise increases, especially the obvious 'bang' sound or the 'hissing' sound of air leaking. I need to slow down immediately and pull over slowly, avoiding sudden braking to prevent a rollover. It's important to develop a habit of checking tire pressure weekly with a simple tire pressure gauge, and not wait until the warning light comes on. Additionally, bulges or severe wear on the tires are warnings—don't push your luck before getting new tires. Prevention makes things much easier.
