Car tires, as the only component that is in direct contact with the road surface, have a big contribution to play
safety
.
Neglecting tire health risks causing serious problems.One extreme is a sudden tire burst which can lead to an accident.

A burst tire can be caused by various factors, including the following:
1. Excessive air pressure

Air pressure that is too high or too low can both cause problems with car tires.So it is important to check tire pressure regularly to ensure it is as recommended by the manufacturer.
Tires with high air pressure have a more prominent surface in the middle, causing them to wear out quickly and reduce traction.
2. Low air pressure
Meanwhile, low air pressure causes the tire walls to bend excessively and can even rub against the rim lip, causing excessive heat and potentially causing the tire to suddenly burst.
3. Tires are worn out or the tires are too old
Tires that are worn or thin are no longer able to withstand hard impacts when passing through roads full of holes, sharp gravel or bumps.This condition is a sign that the tire must be replaced immediately to avoid sudden rupture.
A tire surface that looks good also cannot be used as an indicator of health because there is a limit to the ideal age of a tire that is suitable for use.In general, tires are replaced every three to five years for the safety of motorists.
4. Overload
Manufacturers have set official provisions regarding the maximum load capacity which is usually stated in the Load Index code on the tire wall.Too heavy a load causes the tire to work too hard, increasing the temperature excessively and increasing the risk of a tire burst.
Make sure the load carried by the vehicle is still within a reasonable capacity according to the provisions to maintain tire health in the long term.
5. Extreme road conditions
Tires that travel too often on uneven roads, full of sharp gravel, holes or bumps are at risk of breaking.When tires hit these extreme roads at high speed, the tire walls can tear and the wire threads inside them break.
When a tire’s structure is damaged, its resistance will decrease drastically so it can break at any time.A tire that bursts while traveling can result in a serious accident.
6. Extreme temperatures
Car tires that are pushed continuously without stopping can produce extreme heat due to friction with the road surface.Continuously high temperatures will burn the tire rubber and increase the air pressure in the tire which will result in the tire bursting.
Meanwhile, temperatures that are too cold reduce the air pressure in the tires.Tire pressure that drops drastically increases the risk of a torn tire wall which can further trigger a tire burst.
7. Tire quality is not standard
Tires that do not comply with manufacturer standards, both in terms of size, Load Index and rubber quality, will increase the risk of bursting.
Choose tires that meet manufacturer standards and have official certification such as SNI to avoid the risk of tire bursts.
8. Damage to the rim
Dented, cracked or inaccurate rims produce uneven pressure on the tires.As a result, certain parts experience friction more frequently than other parts, thereby risking triggering tears and further bursting of the tire.
9. Neglecting regular check-ups
Periodic inspection or service is important to maintain the overall condition of the tires in order to anticipate the risk of tire rupture.Tire services that are important to carry out include checking air pressure, tire wall condition, tire tread depth, tire rotation as well
