Learn About The Top Ways To Prevent Flat Tires From Occurring Often
Are you finding yourself replacing quite a few flat tires? Are you driving with weak tires and feeling many bumps while driving? Are your tires turning brown and you don't know why?
Today, we will discuss a problem that many people overlook until it deteriorates and becomes a problem known as "Tire Browning" or "Tire Blooming".
Why do “Tire Browning" or "Tire Blooming" occur?
Tires turn brown because of a rubber additive called antiozonant. You are probably asking yourself what is an antiozonant?
Antiozonant Is an organic compound added to rubber materials in order to prevent or at least slow down the deterioration of the tire condition by protecting the tires from the sun's rays, dirt and road dust.
The antiozonant works while the car is on the move and is also capable of protecting against mold, dryness, breakage, oxidation or cracks. This is done by preventing the surface from warming the material and maintaining the flexibility of the material.
The effect begins to show as soon as the ozone comes in contact with the oxygen air and turns it into heat.
​
Tire Blooming - The severity varies depending on the tire and the driver. Tire rubber is shaped in watts, allowing the ozone counter to work continuously out of the tire. Once the antiozonant reaches the outside of the tire and is exposed to air and moisture, it oxidizes and forms a brown residue.
​
Dry Rot - The term dry rot is used to describe a particular type of tire rot that may occur when the tire becomes worn out or is regularly exposed to harmful materials and conditions. Decay allows air to escape from the tire, making it difficult or even impossible to keep the tire inflated properly. Tires with decay are more likely to develop leaks, holes and shattering. In extreme cases, the tread may completely separate from the rest of the tire.
​
Silicone - Most of the browning associated with silicone is a result of the silicone holding dirt and debris on the surface of the tires, and not the tire itself.
How Can Such Problems Be Treated?
Now that you understand the leading factors that cause Tire Browning or Tire Blooming, it is time to understand how it can be treated and solved. The sides of the tires are always going to have a tendency to fade, thus, you will not be able to get rid of it forever.
However, proper cleaning and protection will prevent or eliminate browning.
In some cases, you can use a simple car wash soap that can remove some of the browning of the tires. Tires that have not been properly cleaned before or have been left neglected for long periods of time will have significant amounts of ozone on the surface of the tire. When an active wheel cleaner comes in contact with this buildup, it will accelerate the browning process. This is why it is mandatory to scrub tires regularly to remove accumulation of anti-ozone rubber. Using a tire cleaner that is too harsh may do more harm than good and remove the outer layer of the rubber, which will eventually worsen the condition of the tire.
