  2. Blowout (tire) - Wikipedia

    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 ...

  3. Aircraft tire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_tire

    Tests of airliner aircraft tires have shown that they are able to sustain pressures of maximum 800 psi (55 bar; 5,500 kPa) before bursting. [citation needed] During the tests the tires have to be filled with water, to prevent the test room being blown apart by the energy that would be released by a gas when the tire bursts. [citation needed]

  4. Tire maintenance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_maintenance

    The three major areas to keep an eye on is the tread, sidewall, and air pressure of the tire. Having the correct air pressure in your vehicle's tires lets your vehicle perform in the most efficient way possible. When objects such as a screw or nail puncture a tire, it creates a small leak in the tire. This leads to under-inflation of the tire.

  5. Central tire inflation system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Tire_Inflation_System

    Reducing tire pressure also reduces the extent to which the tires grind against loose surfaces, significantly reducing dust and silt. Another function of CTIS is to maintain tire pressure if there is a slow leak or puncture. In this case, the system controls inflation automatically based on the selected pressure the driver has set.

  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).

  8. Flat tire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_tire

    Besides puncturing of the tire a flat can be caused by: failure of or damage to the valve stem; a nail in the tire; rubbing of the tire against the road; ripping of the tire; separation of tire and rim by collision with another object; excessive wear of the tire tread allowing explosive tire failure or road debris tearing through the tire. Some ...
