Where do most tire failures come from?
Active and passive safety
Explanation
Most tire **breakdowns** stem from **punctures and ruptures**. This is due to several factors that affect the tire's integrity:
- **Punctures**: These occur when sharp objects, such as nails or glass, pierce the tire's rubber. This is common due to constant contact with the road.
- **Ruptures**: These can be caused by **deformations**, **blisters**, or **cracks** in the tire. These imperfections weaken the tire's structure, making it more susceptible to damage.
- **Wear**: Continuous friction with the road wears down the tire's rubber. Factors such as aggressive driving, weather, and incorrect inflation pressure accelerate this wear, increasing the risk of punctures and ruptures.
Therefore, it is crucial to keep tires in good condition by regularly checking their pressure and physical state to prevent these common breakdowns.
