One way that you can avoid a tire blowout is by making sure to rotate them at regular intervals. Ideally, tires will be rotated each time you go in for an oil change or inspection. By keeping up a regular tire rotation schedule, they will wear in a more uniform manner.

When tires do not wear in an even manner, they may be prone to bulges or bubbles forming on the tread. This makes it harder for the tire to make proper contact with the road, which may result in less heat being transported away from it.
