They exist in two forms: as fast-burning events, leading to almost immediate loss of control, and as slow-burning pyrolysis which can continue for over a decade.

4. Tire maintenance - Wikipedia

When a tire is over-inflated, it wears the tread down faster, and becomes more prone to catching nails or screws in the tire.
