What is the blowout rate of a bulged tire?
1 Answers
Bulging significantly increases the likelihood of a tire blowout. The reasons and influencing factors for why bulging tires are prone to blowouts are as follows: Reasons why bulging tires are prone to blowouts: Because a tire bulge is caused by the breakage of the cord, which leads to the rubber tire being squeezed and expanded by air pressure, this is an irreversible process. A bulged tire cannot be restored, and the bulge itself is a hidden danger for a blowout. When driving for long periods or at high speeds, the tire temperature rises, which can easily cause the bulged area to suddenly rupture and result in a blowout. Factors influencing tire bulging: Most of the time, bulging is caused by external human forces that lead to the breakage of the cord, thus forming a bulge. For example: driving over speed bumps or some uneven road surfaces at high speeds, causing the tire to be impacted; or driving with insufficient tire pressure, leading to fatigue in the cord layer, which will eventually break over time; or parking the vehicle on uneven ground for long periods, causing uneven force distribution on the tire, which will form a bulge over time.
