Too dam hot

Aug 02, 2006 9 Replies

I'm out in the garage today, a bit over 100 degrees and hear a "boom !", look around a see this tire. Now, I have to ask, why would a near new tire explode in the summers heat since it must gets hotter at high speed.

Don't know why, but that is a pretty common in boneyards here in the south. My buddy with the "crush yard" says it happens so often that he doesn't even flinch anymore. It has happened to me a few times on cars out in my yard over the years. One was a clunker Avanti parked close to the front fence line. When it blew, all the black drivers and loaders in the yard in front of me hit the ground... Studebaker George

Dunno

I had an almost new tire go BOOM sitting under the carport one night. but I had just came back from a backroads potholed asphalt road, where I hit a pothole pretty good,,,,, then 10 minutes on a 4 lane highway about 65 mph.

then 10 minutes after I get home, boom... hole in the sidewall.. guess I snagged a pothole good with that right front tire.

took it to tire store, dad bought road hazard coverage...... cost me 7 or 8 bucks for a new tire.

told him about it when he got home from out of town that weekend.

DAMN! look at all the bondo on the ground it knocked loose!
