Heat Build-Up
Heat build-up in tyres is caused by the continuous flexing of rubber during driving, especially at high speed, heavy load, or low pressure. Excessive heat weakens the tyre structure and can lead to tread separation or blowout. Correct inflation pressure, appropriate speed, and not exceeding load ratings are essential to managing tyre temperatures safely.
