Why are high-speed vehicles more prone to tire blowouts?
1 Answers
Reasons why high-speed vehicles are prone to tire blowouts: 1. Drivers often adjust the brakes too tightly before long-distance trips, causing the brake pads to overheat due to friction during driving and leading to tire blowouts; 2. Before entering highways, some vehicles have underinflated tires, resulting in prolonged friction with the road surface and overheating that causes blowouts; 3. Over-tightened brake adjustments on tires, especially the front tires, can cause concentrated impact force from inertia during emergency braking, making blowouts more likely; 4. Inaccurate brake adjustments that leave one side tighter than the other can create uneven friction, generating high temperatures and leading to blowouts—a common issue for long-distance vehicles.
