The summer driving -beware of high temperature tire blowout

On the morning of August 14, together in Yingde tragic traffic accident killed three Shunde entrepreneurs Although the cause of the accident is under further investigation, but according to informed sources, the accident cause of suspected sport utility vehicle tire suddenly flat tire car collision led to the isolation belt off direction across the middle of the road after losing control of the vehicle, a driving school instructor.
Reporter learned that, with the advent of high summer temperatures, excessive temperature of the ground easily lead to tire blowout occurs. According to statistics, about one-third of traffic accidents caused by tire failure on the highway, the most important is a flat tire. Current automotive school, focuses on the maintenance of summer tires, cause traffic accidents to avoid puncture.
NO1:
Reasonable adjustments to tire pressure
Tire pressure is closely related to traffic safety. Determine tire inflation pressure should take full account of the conditions, road conditions, such as high-speed running, poor road conditions and high load and other cases, the air pressure should not reduce.
The owners should be back before the trip tire pressure to avoid vehicle breakdowns, the inflation pressure of the front and rear wheels should be consistent, otherwise driving tire uneven force are easily punctured tires. Automobile highway driving, the tire inflation pressure should be mastered in between 85% and 90% of the normal value, because the car at high speed for a long time, tire friction and heat generated too late to disseminate the increase in air pressure within the tire. Found in the process of moving the tires to overheat, the pressure is too high, the car should be parked in the cool shade, unavailable poured cold water on red, and do not bleed, otherwise it will lead the way to a flat tire and tire early damage.
It is worth mentioning that the key factor in determining the temperature the heat of the tire itself. Therefore, simply using lower tire pressure to ensure that security is not advisable because of the reduced air pressure after the tire sidewall deformation exacerbate the the tire heat cause a substantial increase, but affect the safety. Best timely car parked in the shade, tires, cooling themselves.
NO2:
Steady driving speed is not too fast
High summer temperatures, car travel time increased rapidly in a short period of time the temperature can easily make tires, tire wear will be higher. Therefore, when traveling long distances for long periods of time, every once in a rest stop about a good habit to cultivate, which can restore the strength and energy, but also check the tire.
At the same time, the vehicle is in the process of moving, non-overloading and speeding. Authoritative data that puncture accident occurred when the car is more than 160 kilometers per hour, the driving members of mortality was 100%. Long-distance travel, the Qualified owners can also tires filled with nitrogen, because nitrogen is not easy to leakage, stable performance by small changes of temperature caused by air pressure. Aircraft tires and F1 racing tires are filled with nitrogen. If the tires filled with nitrogen, which is good for traffic safety.
NO3:
Timely repair replacement tire damage
Usually pull over as much as possible to avoid the outside of the tire the collision even confronted roadside, it will be very easy to make the tire sidewall injuries hidden cause serious internal wire breakage or rims deformation. If you need to repair the tires, but also standards and norms. Carcass damage, the bead damage can not be repaired, the parts of the sidewall tire flex deformation zone, the best do not fix. Tread parts can be repaired, but the holes diameter generally does not exceed 6 ~ 8mm, repair times should not be too much to allow the maximum number of patches in accordance with the national standards, two, once more than two, the tires should be replaced.
Meanwhile, due to the wet summer, the drainage capacity of the tire tread is also key to affect traffic safety. Tire drainage is not good cause vehicle performance degradation even skid brakes in puddles serious impact on traffic safety. In general, the ribs especially single-oriented pattern of drainage effect is best. If the remaining tire tread depth is less than 3mm, drainage effect is relatively poor, this time to consider replacing the tires as soon as possible is recommended.
