May 23rd, 2012 01:06 PM #13A valid point here but I doubt Americans know these tire ratings as well so they can win in this lawsuit and a new law regarding tires will be made. I'm thinking the rubber is brittle already because it's not being used all the time. Same as rubber shoes when you don't use it for a long time.

A tire blow-out can happen any time... even with new tires... if the pressure is out of spec and the tire heats up too much (travelling very fast for a long time on underinflated tires).
And, as we've seen with the Fortuner accident on the Skyway... when you have a blowout in a tall SUV... a roll-over is almost inevitable.

In other words... always check your tires... buckle up... and don't drive too fast if you're in a car with a high center of gravity.

Over versus Under... a blowout is almost always a result of underinflation. Underinflation causes heat due to friction in the sidewall and extra rolling resistance. This heat raises the pressure, causing a blowout.
A tire that is slightly overinflated does not heat up as much as a tire that is underinflated. Thus, it is at high pressure, but low temperature... the risk for a blowout is actually much less than with "normal" pressures. Which is what caused the Firestone scandal before... because the "normal" door pressures on the 1990's Explorers were TOO LOW for the tire spec.
Scientific testing and safety testing bear this out... NEVER underinflate on the highway... and sometimes, you need to overinflate to ensure safety.Last edited by niky; May 23rd, 2012 at 01:29 PM.

considering what niky said... tires could be underinflated, tapos madami sakay, bagsak ang gulong, sidewall contact pavement tapos mainit pa... sabog gulong

May 23rd, 2012 01:57 PM #19puro bata naman ata ang sakay nung expy eh... sa tingin ko maluwag pa sila dyan... mahirap lang talaga sa gulong ng SUV pag sumabog biglang bagsak ang sasakyan.. malamang nagulat yung driver at biglang apak din sa preno kaya ayun.. gulong agad

Ako pang long drives and full pax + bags 33-35psi ang tires ko. Okay lang ba to?
