Tires are the only parts in contact with the ground while driving, inconspicuous in appearance and always dirty, but improper maintenance is often a potential accident hazard.
The next five common causes of tire blowouts:
Super high pressure inflation
The actual load of the vehicle exceeds the maximum allowable load of the wheel, the tire pressure will increase, when the tire pressure exceeds the tire valve sealing pressure, it will cause the tire to leak, if the load-bearing capacity of the rear dual wheel has a tire leak, it will lead to the rear dual wheel in the other tire load is too large and blowout.
High temperatures lead to tire pressure tire temperature rise
After a long time using the brakes, the brake drum will gradually generate high temperature, as the truck tire valve close to the middle of the rim, close to the brake drum, the high temperature generated by the brake drum will make the bottom of the valve rubber expansion and deterioration of the seal, so the chances of a tire blowout is higher.
Injured tires should be used with caution safety performance is not guaranteed
Repaired tires are generally padded with rubber gaskets at the inner tube repair, the role of such gaskets is to repair the outer tire perforation, to avoid repairing the tire at the outer tire perforation "package".
This protrudes from the inner surface of the outer tire shim in the case of load and wear on the inner tire repair, if often overload driving or road bumps, it is easy to make the tire blowout.
Cold water cooling is not desirable, hot and cold easy to blow out the tire
Tires will heat up after a long period of sustained high-speed driving, if the heat is not distributed in a timely manner, so that the tire temperature rises, too high temperature (more than 95 ℃) may lead to tire delamination, until the tire burst.
Damaged tires should be replaced in time to avoid friction heat
Double rear tire blowout is not easy to find, continue to drive after the broken tire will be intact with the tire friction heat, until the other tire also occurred.
How to prevent?
1, pay attention to tire pressure
Especially in the case of high temperatures, the tire pressure must first be properly adjusted. Old drivers know that each tire is marked on the tire pressure value, you can follow the car manufacturer's regulations to inflate the tires. Tire pressure is too high or too low, can lead to increased tread wear, or even a blowout.
Tires on the same axle, tire pressure must be the same. If you measure the tire pressure, the best time to get up in the morning, before starting the vehicle to measure the tire pressure, because the tires will be completely cooled down after 4 hours of driving rest, the most accurate data measured at this time.
2, pay attention to the wear mark
The difference between the traction and grip of new tires and old tires is great, and those tires that are very worn, even if they are winter tires, cannot function on snow and ice. Therefore, tires should be replaced in a timely manner according to wear and tear.
All tires have wear marks at the tread depth of 1.6 mm, where there is a small bump in the wear mark, the premise of normal use, tire wear to reach this bump indicates the need to replace the tire.
3、Tire replacement regularly
Due to the role of each axis and the load is different, so the wear of each tire also has a certain difference, in order to extend the service life of the tire, regular tire replacement, so that the tire wear evenly.
4、Keep the tires clean
In the usual driving, be sure to promptly clean up the foreign objects attached to the tires, so as to reduce unnecessary damage to the tires. But if you encounter iron nails and other spiky objects, it is recommended to go to a professional repair shop for cleaning.
