There is nothing more alarming than one of your vehicle’s tires blowing out when you are on the road. It is dangerous to you, the people in your vehicle, and everyone around you. A blown tire can easily cause an accident, which could be much worse if the blown tire is on a truck. 

What Causes a Tire Blow Out?

Most truck accident attorneys will tell you that there are seven common causes of tire blowouts.

1. Over-inflation and Under-inflation

Over-inflated tires are often uneven. When a tire is over-inflated, it may wear down faster than it would if it had the appropriate amount of air. When tires wear down, it can cause a blowout to happen.

Under-inflated tires can become overheated easily, which can cause a blowout. The tire pressure monitoring system in the vehicle should tell the driver if their tires are properly inflated.

2021 Toyota Mirai

It’s been a brutal year for car prices, but there’s one reliable deal that always seems too good to be true. Yet it is true, as long as you can live with strange compromises.

The 2022 Toyota Mirai is again available with a discount of up to $25,000. That’s 38% off the purchase price for a near-luxury sedan with a beautiful panoramic glass roof, a stunning modern-style interior right out of an upscale art gallery, and cabin tech that responds to voice commands.

Oh — and you get six years or $15,000 worth of free fuel.

The catch? It’s that fuel. It’s hydrogen.

Just Three of Its Kind on the Market

The Toyota Mirai is an automotive oddity. It’s one of just three hydrogen fuel cell cars left for sale in the U.S.

It borrows much of its architecture from the Lexus LS — the flagship of the Lexus lineup.

BMW M2, M3 Touring, XM

I just can’t nail it down to one car. In fact, it’s a BMW triple for me.

The upcoming M2, new M3 Touring, and the first full-strength electrified M car ever in the XM.

The M2 is a new-generation car from the ground up that borrows from the latest M3/M4, with a clean-sheet exterior design I’m liking more every time I see another pic, while the M3 Touring is the first such M3 wagon ever to go into series production.

“Jadi dari segi data itu (subsidi bersasar) sudah hampir lengkap untuk kita berikan data itu kepada Perdana Menteri (Anwar Ibrahim) tentang bagaimana kita boleh buat subsidi bersasar ini,” katanya ketika mengulas mengenai rancangan kerajaan terutama KPDN yang juga sekretariat kepada Majlis Tindakan Sara Hidup (NACCOL) berkait mekanisme subsidi bersasar dan pelaksanaannya di Johor Bahru hari ini.

Menteri berkenaan menyatakan bahawa kertas cadangan mengenai subsidi bersasar sebelum ini sudah dibentangkan
