What Happens When a Car Tire Bursts?
1 Answers
The following are the situations that may occur when a car tire bursts: 1. Tire Leakage: If the tire is punctured by a nail or other sharp object but not immediately ruptured, air leakage may occur, leading to a tire burst. 2. Excessive Tire Pressure: Due to high-speed driving, the tire temperature rises, increasing the pressure and causing deformation. The elasticity of the tire decreases, and the dynamic load on the car also increases. If subjected to impact, internal cracks or a tire burst may occur. This is also the reason why tire burst accidents are more common in summer. 3. Insufficient Tire Pressure: When driving at high speeds (exceeding 120 km/h), insufficient tire pressure can easily cause 'harmonic vibration' in the tire, generating significant resonant forces. If the tire is not strong enough or already damaged, it is prone to bursting.
