Lots of things can cause a tire blow out
- Underinflated- causes friction which heats up the tire and leads to blowout
- Overinflated- Cause ware on the middle, and eats away until blow out
- puncture- such as Nail, metal, wood, that is large enough to blow the tire. expesialy on the side wall (part not touching the ground).
- Overload- Putting to much weight on a tire, Such as putting Pasanger rated tires on trucks, Pulling a boat over the wight limit of the tire. or loading to much in a truck or trailer. This casues the tire to buldge out and blow out the sidewalls. The tire simply can not take this stress.
- Alignment/balanced- if the balacne or aligmnet is off it could cause friction and uneven ware which could possibly lead to blow out but very rare.
- BAD tire-- Tires that are showing belts (metal threads) are dry roted (crinkly looking), OLD (more than 8yrs), Tires that have more than 50- 80K miles. Tires that have less than 2/32 tread (head of a penny). Are very likely to fail and blow out because the tire can not hold or handle the stress being exerted on them. Tires with uneven ware f(ROM side to side). These tires are past there intended life expectancy and simply need to be replaced.
Keep Tires at propper PSI listed on driver door of most cars and trucks once a week and when your tires are COLD. Cold tires meen not rode on. Also, Keep your vehicle properly alighned and rotate ballanced tires every 10-20K. Check for punctures or nails every other time you get gas. Tires are the only thing keeping your car on the road, so take good care fo them.

How do you use slash in a sentence?
The tire had a slash in it and that is what caused it to blow out. Another good sentence would be, she put a slash in the cake.
What causes a tire to blow?
There are several things that can cause a tire to blow. -you can run over a piece of road debris or a sharp rock that'll cut the tire bad enough to blow -sheer mileage can cause the tire to wear through to the casing, at which point it'll have lost a lot of strength and may blow at any moment. - poor wheel alignment can cause the tire to wear through to the casing, at which point it'll have lost a lot of strength and may blow at any moment - low pressure can cause the tire to heat up, which makes the rubber softer and the tire weaker which can cause it to blow - heavy load can cause the tire to heat up, which makes the rubber softer and the tire weaker which can cause it to blow overinflation can cause it to blow just like when a balloon pops.
How do you blow up a tubeless tire?

How do you make a BMX tire straight?
Most BMX tires are loose on the rim and have to be straightened as you blow them up. I blow up very slowly and rotate and straighten the tire as it gets inflated more.
Can a tire blow out just seating in the driveway overnight?
Highly unlikely
What does the PSI in tire pressure tell you?
Inaccurate pressure can cause poor mileage, uneven tire wear, or a tire blow-out. To prevent these events from happening it is important to maintain proper tire pressure.
What makes the steering wheel shake?
Normally this is caused by a tire out of balance. It can also be caused by a defective tire. Have the tires inspected, balanced, and rotated.
What makes a vehicle tire bulge or lose shape?
You probably have a broken steel/fiber ply belt in the sidewall. usually this is caused by two things, a manufacturing defect or an impact to the side wall (like hitting a pot hole). You should get the tire replaced quickly since it is a safety hazard and the integrity of the tire is compromised (thats why you get a bulge as it starts to lose shape). This might cause the tire to blow out.
How much air pressure will cause a tire to blow up?
It really depends on a lot of factors. Once I had a 35psi tire "blow up" on 45 psi ... and it was the spare. (It didn't blow up - it sort of quietly disintegrated over a matter of about 10 minutes.) usually a tire is OK at twice its rated pressure - but remember, fast running and/or low pressure can cause quite a rise in the pressure of a tire. I've measured 75 in a 45 psi tire after a long run.
