Tires are one of the most important consumables for daily use of cars, but if you master the reasonable use of tires, you can “extend the life” of your car’s tires! Below we recommend some tips that can extend the service life of your tires:
- Reasonable selection and matching of tires
Due to the complex and changeable daily driving conditions, generally speaking, the wear of the four tires is not necessarily uniform. It is very likely that one tire will wear eccentrically. In such a situation, the tire wear will accelerate rapidly. Therefore, it is very important to pay attention to the balance of the four tires. For example, when installing new tires, tires of the same specification, structure, level and pattern should be installed on the same axle; pay special attention to the fact that retreaded tires cannot be used for steering wheels; also pay attention to the reasonable selection of tires according to the road conditions of your daily driving, some flat tires Although tires with too low efficiency look good, their environmental adaptability is not as good as ordinary tires, so they must be used with caution.
In addition, by regularly changing the tire position, the efficiency of tire use can be improved and the service life of the tire can be extended.
- Avoid tire overloading and speeding
The level of tire load greatly affects the service life of the tire. It should be noted that there are two so-called loads on tires, one is the load of the load, and the other is the load of the vehicle speed. Therefore, overloading and speeding are behaviors that excessively increase the tire load. Overloading the tire will increase tire shoulder wear and easily cause tire blowout; long-term speeding of the tire will cause the tire temperature to increase sharply, the dynamic load will increase, the tire pressure will increase, and the carcass strength will decrease, which may also easily lead to tire blowout. Therefore, in actual use, attention should be paid to controlling the tire load of the vehicle. For example, when using a vehicle to pull goods, pay attention to the balance of load distribution; avoid speeding, etc.
- Maintain normal tire pressure
The tire pressure is an important factor in determining the service life and working quality of the tire. Tire pressure should be checked regularly. If it is too low or too high, it will affect the service life.
- Inspect and maintain the chassis regularly
The condition of the chassis will also have a direct impact on tire wear. For example, incorrect wheel alignment, loose wheel hub bearings, excessive steering mechanism clearance, etc. will all lead to eccentric tire wear. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct regular inspections on the chassis of your car to keep the chassis in good condition.
- Develop a smooth driving style
What is a smooth driving style? A smooth driving style includes a series of good driving behaviors, such as starting smoothly, avoiding rapid acceleration and deceleration, avoiding bad roads, slowing down and cornering, and using sliding as much as possible under safe conditions. Alternative braking and more.
