Will a Nail-Punctured Tire Burst on the Highway?

[MacKathryn]

If a tire is punctured, it usually causes the vehicle to drive with insufficient air pressure, which leads to excessive bending of the tire body. Excessive bending of the tire body generates high heat, causing the inner airtight rubber layer to burn into black spots. Subsequently, the rubber and the tire body's cord fabric may separate. If the tire continues to be driven under reduced strength, it may eventually result in tire damage or, more severely, a tire blowout, posing safety hazards. The causes of tire blowouts include the following: 1. Speeding and prolonged driving: Speeding and prolonged driving can rapidly increase the tire tread temperature, making blowouts more likely under such high-temperature conditions. 2. Abnormal tire pressure leading to blowouts: Abnormal tire pressure refers to either insufficient or excessive air pressure. Both scenarios can cause localized tire wear, reduced handling and comfort, increased fuel consumption, and other issues. 3. Poor tire condition: Excessive wear, aging, and cracking of the tire are also among the causes of blowouts.
