   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowout_(tire)

   Automobile tire damaged after an impact. A blowout (also known as a burst) is a rapid, explosive loss of inflation pressure of a pneumatic tire.. The primary cause for a blowout is encountering an object that cuts or tears the structural components of the tire to the point where the structure is incapable of containing the compressed air, with the escaping air adding to further tear through ...

   A water-based sealant can be injected into the tire also through the valve stem. This contains less harmful chemicals and no aerosol gas. The sealant can then be driven into the tire using an air compressor. A flat tire can be repaired by a patch or plug; [4] or the tire may repair itself. Self-sealing tires work on punctures up to a certain size.

6. Tire-pressure monitoring system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire-pressure_monitoring...

   A tire-pressure monitoring system (TPMS) monitors the air pressure inside the pneumatic tires on vehicles. [1] A TPMS reports real-time tire-pressure information to the driver, using either a gauge, a pictogram display, or a simple low-pressure warning light. TPMS can be divided into two different types – direct (dTPMS) and indirect (iTPMS).

   Burnout in the box at Tarlton International Raceway, South Africa Fire burnout, Santa Pod Raceway, UK. The origins of burnouts can be traced to drag racing, where they have a practical purpose: drag racing slicks perform better at higher temperatures, and a burnout is the quickest way to raise tire temperature immediately prior to a race.

8. Tire fire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_fire

   Tire fires are events that involve the combustion of large quantities of tires, usually waste tires, typically in locations where they are stored, dumped, or processed. 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.

9. Check engine light - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_engine_light

   A check engine light or malfunction indicator lamp (MIL), is a tell-tale that a computerized engine-management system uses to indicate a malfunction or problem with the vehicle ranging from minor (such as a loose gas cap) to serious (worn spark plugs, engine problems or a faulty oil valve, etc.).
