Will Overheated Tires Cause a Blowout?
1 Answers
Car tires will not blow out due to overheating. Below is relevant information about tire pressure: 1. Introduction to Tire Pressure: Strictly speaking, it refers to the air pressure inside the tire. Tire pressure is closely related to vehicle performance, such as comfort and load capacity, and also affects tire lifespan. 2. Hazards of Low Tire Pressure: Insufficient pressure increases tire deformation, leading to cracks on the sidewalls and causing flexing movements, resulting in excessive heat generation, accelerating rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layers, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area, accelerating wear on the tire shoulders. 3. Hazards of High Tire Pressure: Excessive pressure causes overextension and deformation of the tire cords, reducing the elasticity of the tire body and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving. If impacted, it may lead to internal cracks and blowouts. Additionally, high pressure accelerates wear on the tire tread and reduces puncture resistance.
