In 2022, tire-related crashes caused 562 deaths.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The period between May to October is considered tire blowout season because many anecdotal sources say that tires are more prone to blowouts during these months.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The main catalyst that can cause a tire to blow out is underinflation.

In 2022, tire-related crashes caused 562 deaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, in a study involving 5,470 car crashes over a two and a half year period, the National Motor Vehicle Crash Causation Survey found that 9% were caused by tire problems. While 9% might not seem like a lot, it is still a big deal since tire-related crashes are scarier because they can seem completely random. Most people caught in a tire blowout likely crash because they&rsquo;re caught by surprise and lose control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, tire blowouts aren&rsquo;t random. Most blowouts are caused by a wide range of factors, including tire pressure, remaining tread life, existing tire damage, and added cargo weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>May to October is usually called blowout season because more tire blowouts seemingly occur during these months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/blown-pick-up-truck-tire-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"blown pick up truck tire\" class=\"wp-image-109965\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/blown-pick-up-truck-tire-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/blown-pick-up-truck-tire-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/blown-pick-up-truck-tire-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/blown-pick-up-truck-tire-150x94.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/blown-pick-up-truck-tire.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">In a study involving 5,470 car crashes over a two and a half year period, the National Motor Vehicle Crash Causation Survey found that 9% were caused by tire problems.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Are Blowouts More Common In the Summer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tire rubber is incredibly durable, but it does start to deteriorate at about 200 degrees Fahrenheit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, high temperatures aren&rsquo;t the main reason why <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/why-tire-blowouts-are-more-common-during-the-summer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"tires blow out more frequently during the summer\">tires blow out more frequently during the summer<\/a>. The main cause of tire blowouts is underinflation. When a tire is underinflated, the sidewall flexes more and creates more heat. The tire also has a larger surface area making contact with the road, which results in more friction and even higher tire temperatures. Asphalt&rsquo;s dark color also means it absorbs more sunlight, making the tarmac quite hot. On a 90-degree day, asphalt can reach 150 degrees. All of these factors combined can result in a tire&rsquo;s catastrophic failure, or what we call a blowout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preventing Blowouts During Summer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A tire that&rsquo;s inflated at 25% less air pressure than recommended is going to be at risk of a sidewall blowout. This is why it&rsquo;s important to keep an eye on your tire pressures or make sure your tire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/tpms-sensor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"pressure monitoring system (TPMS)\">pressure monitoring system (TPMS)<\/a> is working properly. Unfortunately, only 42% of drivers regularly check their tire pressure and just 58% could correctly identify a TPMS warning light on their dashboards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Preventing blowouts, especially during the summer, can be as simple as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/why-tire-blowouts-are-more-common-during-the-summer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"properly inflating\">properly inflating<\/a> your vehicle&rsquo;s tires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Get New Tires for Your Vehicle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&rsquo;t wait to get into an accident before you change your mind about replacing worn-out tires. Tire blowouts are much more common than you think, and they usually end in severe crashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep yourself and your passengers safe by staying up to date with your vehicle&rsquo;s tire maintenance schedule.
