- Overspeeding:
First and foremost, the major cause of tyre bursts is overspeeding, especially with cargo onboard the vehicle. Tyres like most of the vehicle’s components are prone to overheating if overworked, especially crossing the speed rating of the tyres. Even though they are manufactured to work in the most challenging conditions, overspeeding can result in failure. Why? Well, tyres can fail to dissipate heat at high speeds and would eventually cause them to burst.
- Overloading:
Tyres are built to withstand stress and loads, however, overloading the vehicle can cause damage to the sidewalls and integral construction by generating more friction and heat. Even if the vehicle is being used for short-distance trips, overloading is a safety hazard that increases the chance of tyre blowouts and injury. So, it is advised to load your vehicle with cargo and materials by considering OEM spec.
