Those who haul extra-heavy loads can increase a tire's weight-carrying capacity by raising pressure to the "maximum load," indicated by the"maximum pressure" number found on a tire sidewall. To be sure about all this, you'll have to find your vehicle's Gross Vehicular Weight Rating (it's on the same placard as the recommended tire pressure) and do the math. When pulling a heavy-laden trailer with your SUV, your 350-pound brother-in-law might have to find another ride.

Just because your pickup's bed will accept a full load of free mulch from the recycling center doesn't mean your tires can carry the weight, especially if they're underinflated. Overloading a vehicle can also fatally damage a tire. The definition of "radically underinflated" for your tire and vehicle combination can be found on your tiremaker's website: If the pressure drops much below 20 psi, the extra-cautious will want to have their tire inspected by a pro.

If you drive any distance with a radically underinflated tire, have a professional demount the tire from the wheel and inspect its inside for any damage the low pressure might have caused.

A responsible driver still has to check tire pressure by hand or have someone such as a tire dealer do it for him. It's true that the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) has been mandatory on all cars, pickups, and sport-utility vehicles since 2007, but that system does not issue an alert until a tire is significantly underinflated. Proper pressure for tires on recently produced cars can be found on the driver's side door jamb. (Warning: The failure point will be skin-burning hot.) Without proper air pressure, the tire's internal pieces will overflex, weaken, and, eventually, fail. Try it with an old-style wire clothes hanger. What happens is much like bending a length of wire: Manipulate the metal long and far enough and it will overheat and snap. Without proper air pressure, the internal components of the tire-fabric, steel, rubber, and composites-flex beyond their designed limits. After all, air is what allows a tire to carry the weight of a vehicle and its cargo. Underinflation is the easiest way to kill a tire.
Besides heat and overweighted cars, other major bad guys for tires include lack of proper air pressure and, of course, impacts with obstacles. However, tire failures can happen any time of year, especially in the warmest parts of the United States. The combination can push a neglected or injured tire beyond its breaking point. (Tire companies closely track such information but guard it carefully.) The reason more tires fail from late spring to early fall is simple: That's when the outside temperature is the hottest, and when motorists are driving farther, and faster, in more heavily loaded vehicles. Tire-blowout season runs from roughly the middle of May through early October.
Colleen Butler Enjoying tire-blowout season? That's a rhetorical question, kind of like the infuriating, "Hot enough for ya?" But those who have suffered a tire failure since the mid-May start of the season will likely answer, "No, I did not have fun." Even if you've avoided tire problems, you probably have noticed road gators-the treads of failed tires-lining the shoulders of interstate highways.
