Will a tire temperature of 70 degrees Celsius cause a blowout on the highway?
1 Answers
During the hottest days of summer, the asphalt on highways can reach temperatures as high as 80 degrees Celsius. Tires not only come into direct contact with the ground but also generate heat due to friction, leading to excessively high tire temperatures and an increased risk of blowouts. Here are detailed precautions: Regularly check tire pressure: Tire pressure should not be too high. If your vehicle lacks a tire pressure monitoring system, frequently use a tire pressure gauge. Clean tire debris regularly: Remove sharp stones, nails, or screws stuck in the tires promptly. Front tire blowout: Firmly grip the steering wheel, gradually slow down, and then steer the vehicle onto the emergency lane. Place a warning triangle at a safe distance behind the vehicle. Rear tire blowout: This is relatively "luckier." Simply stabilize the steering wheel, ease off the accelerator, and pull over to the side.
