What tire pressure is prone to blowouts?
1 Answers
When the tire pressure exceeds 30% of the specified value, the probability of a blowout increases significantly. The specified value can be found on the car's door or fuel tank cap, and it varies depending on the vehicle. Here are specific details about blowouts: 1. A blowout refers to the phenomenon where a tire suddenly loses air and deflates in an extremely short time (generally less than 0.1 seconds) due to rupture. Blowouts are one of the frequent accidents for cars in summer, mostly caused by improper tire maintenance by the owner. 2. When a car is driving at high speed (over 120km/h), insufficient tire pressure can easily cause "harmonic vibration" in the tire body, leading to significant resonant forces. If the tire is not strong enough or already has damage, it is prone to blowouts.
