Why Are Cars More Prone to Tire Blowouts in Summer?
1 Answers
Summer driving increases the risk of tire blowouts due to: 1. Thermal expansion causing tire deformation under high temperatures; 2. Continuous heat buildup during driving with slow dissipation, leading to increased air pressure and thinning tire walls that may rupture. Summer tire maintenance tips include: 1. Maintaining standard tire pressure; 2. Taking breaks during long highway drives for natural cooling; 3. Avoiding sudden acceleration/braking; 4. Preventing overspeeding/overloading; 5. Removing stones/debris from tread grooves to prevent crown deformation; 6. Avoiding direct sunlight exposure; 7. Watching road conditions to bypass muddy/uneven surfaces.
