What Are the Signs of a Car Tire Blowout?
2 Answers
Signs of a car tire blowout include: 1. Small bubble-like bulges appearing on the car 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 function of the tire is to support the entire weight of the vehicle, transmit traction and braking torque, prevent vibration and damage to car components, and ensure driving safety. The following is the tire replacement process: 1. Loosen the screws; 2. Lift the vehicle with a jack; 3. Remove the screws fixing the wheel, turning counterclockwise to loosen and clockwise to tighten; 4. Remove the tire; 5. Install the new wheel.
When a tire is about to burst while driving, I often notice some warning signs. First, the car starts to shake, and the steering wheel vibrates intensely, like holding an electric shock stick. Then, there are strange noises, such as a dull thud or a continuous hissing sound, which could indicate rapid air leakage. The vehicle also pulls sharply toward the side of the bursting tire, handling becomes poor, the steering response is sluggish, and the car may even sway severely. A tire blowout on the highway is even more dangerous—I experienced this before, where the speed suddenly dropped, and I nearly lost control. For prevention, regularly check tire pressure and tread wear. If you notice cracks or bulges, replace the tire immediately. Remember, if these signs appear, avoid slamming the brakes—hold the steering wheel firmly, slow down, pull over safely, and call for assistance.
