When it comes to freezing damage, we are generally talking about people and animals and plants. It seems that tires are difficult to be damaged by freezing. Even in the coldest areas, where the weather is 40 to 50 degrees below zero, cars can drive freely after being equipped with snow tires. Further north in Siberia and the Arctic Circle, there are also signs of car activity in winter, and tires can be used freely. So what kind of tires will be damaged by freezing?
When designing tires, the impact of weather temperature will be taken into consideration. The maximum temperature that most car and truck tires can withstand is 180 degrees to 200 degrees, and the minimum temperature extreme is minus 40 to 50 degrees. In summer, due to the high temperature baking the ground and the friction and heat generated by the tires during driving on the ground, it is easy for the tire temperature to reach its tolerance limit. The resulting tire blowouts occur every summer. But we rarely see news about tires being frozen.
The tires that had been doused with water were frozen overnight in a low temperature environment of minus 40 to 50 degrees Celsius. They could not withstand the extreme cold and were eventually frozen.
Don't do these behaviors
What other behaviors can cause tires to freeze? In some areas, some car owners will deliberately warm their cars in the winter. Especially some large trucks that drive in the wild all year round will deliberately heat their tires. Under the repeated ravages of extreme cold and high temperatures, the life of the tires is greatly reduced. , it is easy to deform and blow out; some car owners will install anti-skid chains. This is nothing, but maybe out of comparison, some drivers will install some small metal buckles and other fragmentary parts on the anti-skid chains. , as the vehicle drives and the tires rotate, these fragmentary small parts often become safety hazards of tire blowout; some vehicles whose tires are stained with water after washing the car can also be easily frozen in extremely cold outdoor weather.
With the continuous development of tire technology, many tire manufacturers have launched tire styles suitable for four seasons, various models, and driving on different terrains, providing more choices for drivers and friends to travel. Whether it's the scorching heat in summer or the extremely cold weather in winter, it can keep you unhindered. Things like 70 tires being frozen in the Northeast will only become less and less common.
