Having a tire blowout when you’re on the highway can be extremely stressful, frightening, and potentially dangerous. Almost 11,000 collisions occur every year as a result of tire blowouts. Although there are several things you can do when you have a blowout, and even signs to look for, it’s more important for drivers to know how to avoid a tire blowout.
In many cases, a little attention and effort can prevent tire blowouts or flat tires. Tire blowouts typically occur from May- October, which is the time of year when the roads are the hottest. When the roads become hot, it adds extra pressure on the tires. The best way to avoid a tire blowout is to check your tires regularly. Watch for excess wear and tear on the tires, low leaks, and proper air pressure. When hauling things, do not exceed your car manufacturer’s recommendations.
