Experts explain that extreme heat can indeed increase tire pressure, raising the risk of explosions, especially if they are poorly calibrated or worn out.
Although this type of incident is rare, it can have serious consequences: only in 2017, more than 700 deaths were attributed to tire bursts in the United States.
Despite the allegation, many netizens suggested that the cause of the explosion may have been the excess of calibration. Comments pointed out that the correct thing is to follow the pressure indicated on the vehicle door, not on the tire itself.
The case is alert for drivers to maintain tires up to date, especially during intense heat periods.
