OVERHEATING FROM EXCESSIVE BRAKING

POSSIBLE CAUSES

Excessive braking or maladjusted brakes are liable to create high heat build-up, which may lead to melting of the rubber at the bead seat or toe/heel areas.

RECOMMENDATION

Remove the tire after it cools.

*Tires with signs of cord-melting due to overheating must be scrapped.
