Tires blow out?

Question

I am wondering how tires blow out. If a person was driving, and then very suddenly swirf, and brake, would tires just blow out?? Or was that person actually speeding?

Answer 1

well i was going 125mph in my mustang and slamed on brakes and i started sliding, the tire just  had a flat spot on it, but i had to change it, but i drove it for a week before i changed it

Answer 2

Several causes for  a tire to blow out.    

1.   Manufacture defect.    In  light of the number tires made,  rare.

2.   Abuse.    Tires are not intended to bounce off curbs,  hop ravines,  drive through mine fields.   Abusing a tire weakens it and increases chance of failure.

3.    Under inflation.     Not only wastes fuel,  but low tires generate excess heat which increases chances of failure.    Very hard on tire life also.

4.    Physical damage,  such as punctures improperly/not  repaired.  

5.   Speeding doesn't normally cause tires to blow on it's own,   but combines with any of the above.    Then,  the excess speed lessens the likelyhood of survival.

Answer 3

Most blow outs are caused by the radials separating while driving.

Every day before you drive, check your tires. Remember that a tire can lose up to half of its air pressure without appearing flat. At least once a month and before long trips, inspect each tire and check the tire pressure with a tire gauge (including spare, if equipped).

Inspecting Your Tires—Periodically inspect the tire treads for uneven or excessive wear. Tires that are damaged or show signs of excessive wear should not be used because they are more likely to blow out or fail.

Improper or inadequate vehicle maintenance can cause tires to wear abnormally. Inspect all tires, including the spare, frequently.

If a tire is more than 6 years old, it is generally in need of replacement. Tires degrade over time, even when they are not being used. Heat caused by hot climates or frequent high loading conditions can accelerate the aging process. You should replace the spare tire when you replace the other road tires due to the aging of the spare tire.

Rotating your tires at the recommended interval (as indicated in the scheduled maintenance information that comes with your vehicle) will help your tires wear more evenly, providing better tire performance and longer tire life. Unless otherwise specified, rotate the tires approximately every 5,000 miles (8,000 km).
