As the number of vehicles continues to increase, so do traffic accidents. Many traffic accidents are caused by tire failures, especially caused by tire punctures. It can be seen that it is usually necessary to regularly check and maintain the car tires, otherwise once a traffic accident occurs, it is really harmful to others and harms themselves. So when we usually check the tires, how to judge whether the tires are easy to burst, today Xiaobian will give you an analysis.
The service life of car tires is generally about 3-5 years, and it is related to our driving safety as a very important part of the car. Once the tire of the car fails or suddenly bursts, the consequences are unimaginable. So how do we usually judge whether the car tire will burst? First of all, we can judge by the depth of the tire tread pattern, the general tire tread depth is greater than 3.5mm is in a good state, and the tire tread pattern depth is normal in 2.5-3.5mm. When the depth of the tire tread pattern reaches the limit value of 1.6mm, it means that the car tire tread pattern has been worn to the limit, and new tires must be replaced immediately. If you continue to drive, the tire is easy to burst out of control, which is very dangerous.
Secondly, we can judge whether the tire is easy to burst through the cracks in the sidewall of the car tire, we all know that the car tire is a rubber product, which is easy to age under the long wind and sun, and then cracks are generated. When the tire sidewall cracks are more serious, it is likely to cause tire punctures, so you must go to the repair shop in time to replace new tires.
In addition, we can also judge whether the tire is prone to puncture by the bumps and bubbles on the tire, and the reason why the surface of the car tire produces bulges and bubbles is because the car tire is not strong enough. This will not only lead to unstable tire pressure, but also cause tire puncture, so when you see the bumps and bubbles on the tire, you must pay attention to it.
So how should we avoid puncturing tires when we are driving? First of all, we must regularly check the tire pressure, which is an important cause of tire puncture. Whether the tire pressure is too high or too low will lead to a puncture, so we must check the tire pressure from time to time when driving.
Secondly, we must regularly check the wear of the tire, if the car tire wears out very badly, we must replace the tire in time, do not continue on the road, otherwise it is likely to cause the tire to burst. In addition, we also have to clean up the small pebbles in the tires in time, because the car tires have long-term contact with the ground, and it is inevitable that sharp things such as small pebbles will be embedded in the driving process. If not cleaned up in time, these sharp things are likely to puncture the tire and cause the tire to burst.
If the car suddenly bursts during driving, don't panic too much, and be sure to stay calm. And use both hands to control the steering wheel with both hands, try to maintain the original driving direction of the car. Then immediately release the throttle, tap the brakes, and pull over when the speed slowly slows down.
