How To Prevent Tyre Bursts In Scorching Heat: Follow These 4 Simple Tips To Avoid Accidents
Rising temperatures results in heating roads and increasing tyre burst risks. Key causes of tyre bursts include incorrect air pressure, worn tyres, and overloading
The temperature in most parts of the country has been rising since February this year. Following the conclusion of Holi, the heat has intensified even further. By 10 am, the roads are significantly heated, affecting not only the citizens but also their vehicle tyres.
The cement concrete and asphalt roads absorb tremendous heat, causing the air inside the tyres to expand. If tyres are over-inflated, the likelihood of a tyre burst increases. This issue is particularly concerning for long-distance travel and heavy-duty vehicles.

Reasons Behind Tyre Bursts
- Incorrect air pressure: Excessive or insufficient air pressure puts stress on the tyre, potentially leading to a burst
- Worn or old tyres: Tyres used for over five years develop cracks and lose their grip, heightening the risk of accidents
- Overloading: Carrying more weight than the vehicle’s capacity places excessive stress on the tyres, increasing the risk of bursts in high temperatures.
Special Care Of Tyres In Summer
Vehicle owners should give special attention to their tyres during summer.
- It is crucial to check the tyre air pressure at least once a week, ensuring it matches the level specified in the vehicle manual.
- Avoid over-inflating the tyres and replace old or worn tyres to minimise accident risks.
- Do not exceed the vehicle’s weight capacity as this raises the danger of tyre bursts.
- Choosing high-quality tyres from reputable brands is safer when purchasing new tyres.
With rising temperatures, drivers must remain vigilant. Negligence can lead to serious accidents, so always check the vehicle’s and particularly, the tyres’ condition before setting out on a journey. This care is essential for road safety.
