Truck Tires Can Blowout for Many Different Reasons

A truck’s tires can blowout for a variety of different reasons. A blowout can occur with:

• Poorly adjusted tires and incorrect compressor pressure
• Pressure gauge problems with the tires
• Pressure valve issues on the tires
• Poor mounting on the tire rims
• Over-pressurization of tires on the rims
• Weak or defective tires
• Low tire fabric on rims
• Mechanical wear on tires not checked beforehand
• Worn tire structure
• Overloading of tires
• Carcass wear on tires
• Tire cord and weave defects unchecked by driver
• Under-pressurization of tires per the load
• Driving with improper tire pressure
• Driver negligent in driving over debris on the shoulder of the road
• Contaminated tires by debris from the road
• Overheated tires unchecked by the driver

Truck Tires Need to Be Carefully Maintained Over the Life of the Tires

Because trucks carry heavy loads and there is a danger of issues with the tires, the truck drivers are always responsible to check and recheck the safety of the tires before each load is driven. If the truckers driving the nation’s big rigs forget to check each tire when their loads are secured from the truck depot, they are putting the lives of everyone on the roadway at risk. A blown out tire can happen as a violent explosion on the roadway.

A truck tire blowout can cause the shrapnel of the tire to travel for many yards in all directions, hitting other cars in the vicinity of the truck tire blow out. Truck drivers moving at excessive speeds are also at the high risk for a truck tire blowout. Additionally, any time that there are unequal pressures on the tires mounted on double wheels on a truck, there is a high risk of a tire blowout in that case as well. You can expect to suffer serious personal damages, personal injuries and other losses related to being nearby to a truck that has a tire blowout on the roadways.
