Blistering
블리스터링
This phenomenon occurs when the internal temperature of the tire rises excessively, causing bubbles to form within the rubber. As these bubbles burst, the tire surface (tread) becomes torn away. This leads to a rapid decline in tire grip and, in severe cases, can result in a puncture, making it extremely dangerous.

Frequently asked questions
Why does blistering create bubble-like damage on the tyre surface?
When the tyre overheats internally, heat and gases within the rubber can push toward the surface and cause sections of rubber to lift or break away.
Does a blistered tyre need to be changed immediately?
It depends on the severity. Mild blistering may be manageable, but severe blistering can cause a significant loss of grip and make a pit stop necessary.
