What Causes a Tire Blowout?
2 Answers
Causes of tire blowouts: 1. Speeding and prolonged driving, leading to excessive tire temperature; 2. Abnormal tire pressure; 3. Excessive wear, aging, or cracking of the tire; 4. High temperatures are related to air pressure. When the temperature rises to a certain level, it can cause the tire body to become too thin and lead to a blowout. When a car is driven under high-temperature conditions, the tire is prone to deformation due to thermal expansion and contraction, reducing its tensile strength. Additionally, the heat generated from continuous friction between the tire and the ground during driving, coupled with relatively slow heat dissipation, causes the air pressure to increase, leading to a blowout due to the tire body becoming too thin. Tires are circular elastic rubber products assembled on various vehicles or machinery for ground rolling.
I have deep feelings about tire blowouts. Once during a self-drive trip on the highway, my tire suddenly blew out because the tire pressure wasn't adjusted correctly. The high temperature and fast speed caused the internal tire pressure to skyrocket, leading to the rupture. Additionally, aging tires or those with small cracks can instantly burst when punctured by road debris or nails. Neglecting regular maintenance, such as speeding or overloading the vehicle, can also cause tires to burst under excessive pressure. It's advisable to spend some time before driving to check the tire surface for any damage or severe tread wear, and to maintain the tire pressure within the manufacturer's recommended range to avoid such heart-stopping experiences.
