What Causes Tire Bulges on New Cars?
1 Answers
Reasons for tire bulges on new cars: 1. Impact on the tire, such as suddenly hitting a curb, quickly driving over a speed bump, or running over a large pothole. These actions can cause violent compression of the tire, increasing internal air pressure and causing the weaker sidewall to bulge outward. 2. Poor tire quality, where inferior tire materials can lead to bulging. 3. Harsh road conditions, such as driving at high speeds over gravel, rough hard surfaces, or raised manhole covers, which significantly impact the tires. Encountering road surfaces with severe drops that damage tires and suspension is also a major cause of bulging. 4. Insufficient tire pressure, where even minor bumps or slight road irregularities can cause excessive tire flexing, leading to bulges.
