Tire blowouts can occur when a tire is shoddily made and cannot withstand the heat and pressure of regular vehicle usage. Over-inflation and under-inflation may also lead to the blowout of poorly constructed tires. Tire blowouts are often associated with roll-over accidents, which are the most fatal kind of car accidents. A 1998 NHSTA study concludes that approximately 23,464 auto accidents (0.5% of all car accidents) are caused by tire blowouts each year.
