Will Car Tires Get Damaged After Being Exposed to the Sun for a Whole Summer?
1 Answers
Car tires may suffer damage after being exposed to the sun for a whole summer. Since car tires are made of rubber, prolonged exposure to high temperatures from the sun can cause the road surface to become much hotter than the surrounding air. This intense heat can lead to cracking, bulging, and significantly reduce the tire's lifespan. Below is an introduction to the functions of car tires: 1. Supporting Weight: They bear the full weight of the vehicle, handle the load, and transmit forces and moments in other directions. 2. Cushioning Impact: They transmit traction and braking torque, ensuring good adhesion between the wheels and the road to improve the vehicle's power, braking, and off-road capabilities. They also work with the car's suspension to absorb shocks and dampen vibrations caused by driving. 3. Ensuring Safety: They protect car components from severe vibrations and premature damage, adapt to high-speed performance, reduce driving noise, and ensure safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
