Tyre Failure and Vehicle Safety
Which includes...
- Tyre failure is often blamed as one of the leading “vehicle factors” contributing to road crashes. As a public information platform with a passionate interest in road safety, we approached crash investigator Stan Bezuidenhout with some questions around tyre failures and how to prevent these avoidable “accidents"
And a good summary list:
- Light motor vehicles
- As far as light motor vehicles are concerned, I would say user contribution is probably the greatest cause of tyre failure. And by user contribution, I would include the many common mistakes people make, such as:
Improper inflation
Overloading
Improper damage repairs
Missing signs of irregular, excessive or abnormal wear
Ignoring early warning signs
Exceeding the safe life of the tyre on older vehicles.
Commercial Vehicles
- On commercial vehicles, I would say that retreads are more commonly associated with tyre failures, in my experience, and that under-inflation, over-loading and unattended damages are probably the greatest causes of tyre failure. In the case of commercial vehicles, temperature plays a very big role in some kinds of failures.
