How to make tires more durable? You don’t know the blind spot!
1. Avoid heading in place
Because of the bad feeling of the car, many novices like to play in the same direction. This bad habit is basically brought out of the driving school. Steering in place will make the tire wear concentrated on the same contact surface, resulting in severe local tire wear and shorten the service life. Therefore, the car owner should avoid steering in place, but should steer when the tire is rolling. In this way, the ground will bring all-round and even normal wear to the tire.
2. Avoid hitting the road shoulder and getting into the pit
Some car owners prefer to park their cars on the shoulder of the road. In the process of riding on the road shoulder, the tire will be squeezed, which will easily lead to the rupture of the cord on the side of the tire, resulting in tire bulging.
Holes in the road should also be avoided. When a tire runs over a pothole, it will also be squeezed. The bigger the hole is and the higher the speed is, the greater the pressure on the tire is, which may also lead to bulge of the tire.
3. Avoid rubbing against the tire wall
Most of the time, rubbing against the tire wall is unintentionally caused when the vehicle is pulled to the side. It may be that the owner has a bad feeling of the car, or it may be that the owner has drifted away. The side of the tire belongs to the weak part of the tire. If it is worn seriously, it will also cause the tire bulge and bring the hidden danger of tire burst. Therefore, car owners should pay more attention to the distance between the vehicle and the road shoulder when parking to avoid rubbing against the tire wall.
4. Keep proper tire pressure
The proper tire pressure can ensure the uniform ground area of the tire and reduce unnecessary wear. Therefore, car owners should develop the habit of regularly testing the tire pressure and know the tire pressure at any time. You can go to a professional repair shop to test the tire pressure, or you can buy a tire pressure gauge to test it yourself. The tire pressure standard can refer to the tire pressure label of the vehicle.
5. There is no need to reduce the tire pressure in summer
Many car owners believe that the high temperature in summer, reduce the tire pressure can avoid tire burst. In fact, this operation will increase the contact surface between the tire and the ground, increase the friction, speed up the tire wear, and lead to faster tire temperature rise and easier tire burst. Therefore, the normal tire pressure should be maintained in summer.
6. Exchange four tires according to tire wear condition
Because the load of the front axle and the rear axle is not the same, in order to make the wear of the four tires equal and prolong the service life, we suggest that the vehicle owner change the position of the four tires every 8000km or 10000km. The car owner can also decide whether to change the position of four tires according to the tire wear.
What are the symmetrical pattern, asymmetrical pattern and directional pattern of a tire?
The symmetrical tread pattern is based on the tread center groove, and the left and right tread patterns are the same; the asymmetrical tread pattern is that the tread pattern of the tire is not symmetrical; the directional tread pattern is that the tire rotation direction is required.
