Top 7 Tips for Tyre Care and Maintenance
Posted by in Uncategorized on November 18, 2009
Car tyres play an integral role in the performance and fuel-efficiency of any car. Most of the time car owners take good care of their car exteriors, interiors, and even car engine but they forget the significance of car tyres. Care and maintenance of car tyres ensures safer and longer journey.
Here are top 7 tips for tyre care and maintenance:
1. Car tyres should be replaced after 10 years or based on driving and weather condition. Replace them when you see a crack on the side walls. It is believed that the rubber compounds used in tyres consist of anti-oxidizing chemicals that help in slowing down the natural aging process of untreated rubber. All tyres deteriorate with age and blocking the natural aging process increases the risk of failure.
2. Use the proper size wheel bolts when replacing the tyres. If these are either too short or too long, the chances of wheels jumping out increases or an even damage the suspension. They should also be well-balanced to avoid shaking of the car.
3. Rotation of tyre positions is very essential to achieve uniform wear on each tyre. Check the rotation period mentioned in the car owner manual and if no specification is given, rotate after every 5000 km. You need to rotate the tyre position even if there is an irregular wear found on the tyre.
4. Proper wheel alignment is also important as it ensures that all car wheels are pointed in the best direction to the road and each other. It also ensures maximum tyre life by reducing the possibilities of wear and tear. Wheel alignment should be done after every 5000 km or whenever you find any irregular wear on the tyre.
5. Check air pressure of the tyre. All the tyres should be inflated with the correct air pressure as both under-inflation and over-inflation leads to premature tyre failure, eventually leading to a car accident. Perfect air pressure in tyres also ensures maximum tyre life, and delivers best ride and handling experiences.
6. Driving style and habits also puts an impact on the life of tyres. Drive smoothly at a constant pace. Applying frequent brakes or driving rashly results in skidding and eventually tyre loses its tread.
7. Last but not the least, keeping the tyres clean by removing all foreign substances from the surface helps improve performance. Dirt and grime deposits on the surface of the tyre and can degrade them. So, it’s very important to clean car tyres at regular intervals of time.
