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.
