When a tire is under a great deal of stress that it cannot handle, a blowout will occur. There are many factors that will contribute to this event. What are they?
Having low tire pressure is one such cause. Tires should always be inflated to the vehicle manufacturer's listing in the driver's manual. However, too much pressure can also lead to strain on the wheels since they must work harder, which leads to fast wear and aging. As tires age overtime, the tread and sidewalls will shrink in length and smoothness. Chipping and flaking will make the tires appear overused and old, as they rightly are. Under these conditions, driving over rough terrain or roads filled with potholes can result in complete tire failure.
