What is the cause of a motorbike tire burst?
Tire explosion is one of the most dangerous incidents when driving on the road. However, not everyone knows the cause of this phenomenon. Below are some causes of motorbike tire explosions that users need to know:
Tires are too old: The tires have been used for too long, and the treads on the tires have worn down to the maximum limit. Especially when the vehicle is too heavy and runs too fast, it creates a lot of friction with the road surface, generating heat that causes the tire to explode.
Overload-resistant tires: Each type of motorbike has its manufacturer’s published allowable load level. However, many people ignore it and deliberately overload it. A vehicle that is too heavy will cause pressure to build up on the wheels, generating heat when the wheels rub against the road surface and the pressure presses down on the tire wall, easily causing the tire to explode.
Driving fast into potholes: The traffic infrastructure system in Vietnam is not yet completely synchronized, so there are many roads with many potholes and elephantholes. They not only make it difficult to move but also affect the vehicle, especially the tires. Driving at a fast speed and falling into a pothole puts a lot of pressure on the tire, which can cause the motorbike tire to explode.
Hot weather: On hot days, the temperature on the ground is very high, a vehicle with worn tires running at high speed and carrying a heavy load will create high friction and high contact pressure, causing the phenomenon of Tire explosions are more likely to occur. 2. How to fix tire explosion
Fix and prevent motorbike tire explosions
Check tires before traveling: Before every journey, pay attention to checking the tires to see if they are under-inflated, over-inflated, cracked, or worn… for timely handling. If you discover that the tires are worn, cracked or the tires are too low… you need to fix them by replacing them or inflating them before using the vehicle.
Do not leave the car in the hot sun without a cover: To protect the tire from the explosion, you should not leave the car in the sun without cover, high temperatures can cause the wheels to easily crack.
Do not drive on bad roads or drive very slowly: Frequently driving on bad roads with lots of potholes and gravel can cause tires to crack, crack, or even explode when impacted with strong friction.
Therefore, drivers should avoid driving on roads with many obstacles. If you must go through them, you should drive slowly to limit the negative impact on the tires.
Choose good quality tires: Tires made from high-quality materials with thick stripes will ensure vehicle safety when moving, limiting tire explosion incidents when the tire has strong friction with the road surface.
Check tire pressure and tension in hot weather: Tires that are too under-inflated or under-inflated pose a high risk of tire explosion when traveling in hot conditions. Therefore, users need to know what the standard motorbike tire pressure is to pump accordingly, ensuring safety when traveling.
When traveling long distances, you need to let the vehicle rest: To limit the tires from rubbing for too long with the road surface, producing heat and high pressure, causing the wheels to easily explode or have problems.
