| | rupture éclair | Explanation:
"A zipper rupture is a circumferential rupture in the mid sidewall of a steel cord radial tire. Weakened steel cables in the tire's sidewall, caused by running underinflated or flat…defined as, a tire that carries less than 80% of proper inflation. The resulting rupture and air blast can explode with the force of as much as three quarters of a pound of dynamite, leaving a 10-36 inch gash in the sidewall that looks like a zipper. "

"La rupture éclair quant à elle se caractérise par une déchirure instantanée dans le flanc du pneu. Elle survient lorsqu’on a roulé surchargé ou lorsque la pression est à moins de 80 % de la pression de gonflage recommandée."
