Who to Call for Roadside Tire Blowout Assistance?
1 Answers
In case of a tire blowout on the road, you can dial 12122 for roadside assistance. Below are the specific reasons for tire damage or blowouts: 1. Traumatic Cracking: This type of cracking usually occurs irregularly in terms of location, shape, and size, caused by collisions, compressions, or scraping against foreign objects while driving. Some cracks only affect the rubber surface, while others may damage the tire's body cords, with severe cases leading to instant deflation. If the cracks on the rubber surface are minor, they do not affect the tire's safety and the tire can continue to be used. However, if the cracks reach the body cords or even damage them, it poses a safety hazard, and the tire must be replaced as soon as possible. 2. Aging and Crazing: This type of cracking generally occurs in the later stages of tire usage, commonly seen on the tire shoulders or lower sidewalls, and sometimes at the bottom of the tread grooves. This phenomenon is a natural change in tire rubber due to long-term flexing and heat generation. Driving with consistently low tire pressure can accelerate this process, but usually, it does not affect the tire's service life or safety performance, and early replacement is generally unnecessary.
