•Summer heat and road friction significantly increase the risk of tire bursts, especially in regions like Rajasthan with temperatures above 40°C.
•Intense heat causes air pressure to rise inside tires, softening the rubber and weakening worn-out tires, making them prone to bursting.
•Incorrect air pressure is a major cause: over-inflated tires expand with heat, while under-inflated tires generate excessive heat due to increased flexing.
•Regularly check tire pressure as per manufacturer recommendations, ideally every two weeks and before long journeys; replace old (5-6 years) or damaged tires.
•Ensure proper wheel alignment and balancing to prevent uneven tire wear and localized heating, which can lead to tire failure.
