Hood Blowout
Tired Blowouts are Dangerous Road Hazard
Truck tire blowout, often caused by defective tires, is a very serious road hazard that often results in collisions with injuries and fatalities. We have all probably seen the remnants of a blown truck tire scattered across a highway, and many of us had to do some skillful maneuvering to avoid running over these "road gators” or to avoid them hitting our vehicles after the car in front of us has run over them.
Debris littering the highways causes over 25,000 accidents and at least 100 deaths each year in the United States and Canada. The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety reports that blown tire pieces are the number one road debris.
Proper Inflation
Studies have shown that most tire and scrap rubber debris on the roadways is caused by under-inflation of tires, which makes the tire susceptible to cuts and flats. When a truck tire comes apart, it can often cause a failure in the other tires, either from a puncture from the debris or from other tires having to carry a disproportionate share of the load, which causes overheating and tire failure.
Most tire-related truck accidents are caused by improper tire inflation. These accidents are avoidable; truckers need to maintain the proper inflation for a given tire size and load. It is not the tire, but the air inside the tire that carries the weight of the vehicle, absorbs shock and keeps the tire in its proper shape so it can perform as designed. This is the single most critical factor for getting the safest and longest life out of tires.
Tires flex when they roll, bending the tire's rubber and steel cords. The flexing generates heat, and tire wear is the result of friction created between the road's surface and the tread as the tire rolls along. Heat is a tire's worst enemy. A tire that is improperly inflated does not roll as smoothly or as easily as it was designed to roll. The result is an uneven, irregular tire footprint—the portion that makes contact with the road surface. This inconsistent shape leads to increased wear, reduced traction and performance, and handling problems. The concentrated flexing caused by under-inflation leads to premature wear and fatigue of the tires.
When tires are over-inflated, excessive wear occurs at the center of the tread because it will bear the majority of the vehicle's weight. Over-inflated tires tend to not absorb road hazards like debris in the road and potholes, increasing the risk of sustaining a puncture or impact damage.
Safety Measures
Tire pressure should only be checked when a tire is cold (before a vehicle is driven or has been driven less than a mile). Once a vehicle has been driven, tires warm up and there is an increase in air pressure resulting in an inaccurate reading. After driving a truck, a "hot" tire can take several hours to cool down.
Tire pressure should be checked regularly, as often as once per week with a properly calibrated tire gauge. Kicking or thumping the tires is not an effective way to see if they need air. Just as you don't thump on the hood to see if you need oil, you don't thump on the tire to see if you need air.
Alignment also needs to be checked on a regular basis. A truck driver, while inspecting his truck, should be on the lookout for wheel problems and tire injuries. Rubbing your hand along the tread and sidewalls to feel for problems like flat spots, cuts, shoulder wear, bulges, sidewall damage, etc. is a good way to check for obvious problems. These simple and quick checks can help you avoid, or at least minimize the number of, catastrophic accidents.
All drivers should stop immediately once a tire problem is detected. Even continuing on to the nearest rest stop or weigh station can be disastrous. Tires driven with improper air pressure will eventually come apart, and the results can be deadly.
Maintaining proper air pressure in all tires is absolutely imperative while driving your truck across the nation's highways. Ensuring your tires are properly inflated just may save your life and the lives of those traveling beside you.

Blowout in the Gulf (Paperback) $8.36 On April 20, 2010, the gigantic drilling rig Deepwater Horizon blew up in the Gulf of Mexico, killing eleven crew members and causing a massive eruption of oil from BP`s Macondo well. For months, oil gushed into the Gulf, spreading death and destruction. Americans watched real-time video of the huge column of oil and gas spewing from the obviously failed "blowout preventer." What was missing, though, was the larger story of this disaster. In Blowout in the Gulf, energy experts William Freudenburg and Robert Gramling explain both the disaster and the decisions that led up to it. Blowout in the Gulf weaves a fascinating narrative of failures, missteps, and bad decisions, explaining why this oil spill was a disaster waiting to happen--and how making better energy choices will help prevent others like it. |

Wine Cooler Blowout $11.04 Shortly after acclaimed New York noise trio Unsane ditched camp at the end of 1999, Dave Curran, along with the assistance of former Kill Van Kull and Glazed Baby members, founded the J.J. Paradise Players Club. No surprise, then, that this outfit borrows sonically from the parent bands -- particularly Unsane, and especially the propensity for volume at all costs. Curran, who wielded bass with his previous band, does precisely the same here, with a damaging low-end attack. Wine Cooler Blowout is a rhythmically dense album, utilizing the massive, wall of sound approach favored by the majority of noise rock outfits, as well a wash of damaging guitar (not unlike the Entombed -- at least on their later material). Though there is tremendous collective experience among this quartet, being seasoned tour veterans of the underground circuit, Wine Cooler Blowout, like its EP predecessor, is a fairly average affair. Sure, the rhythm section work together seamlessly, and that is the most salient quality of these songs, but the riffs are tepid. ~ Patrick Kennedy, Rovi Performers: Alsey "Grub" Cooper - Vocals; Dave C. - Bass, Vocals |

Blowout in the Gulf (Hardcover) $11.57 On April 20, 2010, the gigantic drilling rig Deepwater Horizon blew up in the Gulf of Mexico, killing eleven crew members and causing a massive eruption of oil from BP`s Macondo well. For months, oil gushed into the Gulf, spreading death and destruction. Americans watched real-time video of the huge column of oil and gas spewing from the obviously failed "blowout preventer." The evening news showed heart-rending images of pelicans, dolphins, and other Gulf wildlife covered in oil. What has been missing until now, though, is a book that tells the larger story of this disaster. In Blowout in the Gulf, energy experts William Freudenburg and Robert Gramling explain both the disaster and the decisions that led up to it. They note that—both in the Gulf of Mexico and elsewhere—we have been getting into increasingly dangerous waters over recent decades, with some in the industry cutting corners and with most federal regulators not even noticing. In the process, the actual owners of the oil—American taxpayers—have come to receive a lower fraction of the income from the oil than in almost any other nation on earth.Freudenburg and Gramling argue that it is time for a new approach. BP`s Oil Spill Response Plan was pure fantasy, claiming the company could handle the equivalent of an Exxon Valdez spill every day, even though "cleaning up" an oil spill is essentially impossible. For the future, our emphasis needs to be on true prevention, and our risk-management policies need to be based on better understandings of humans as well as hardware.Blowout in the Gulf weaves these failures, missteps, and bad decisions into a fascinating narrative that explains why this oil spill was a disaster waiting to happen—and how making better energy choices will help prevent others like it.Freudenburg and Gramling are the authors of Oil in Troubled Waters: Perceptions, Politics, and the Ba |
