As the saying goes: a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, the tire is like the shoes of the car, its condition is directly related to the driving safety of the car. But many owners are more worried, how to maintain the tire, what should we pay attention to? This is a real problem. Many people feel that if a tire doesn't burst, they should use it and change it when it doesn't. This approach is not right, to learn to maintain is the truth, here to introduce how to maintain the car tires.
1. Pay attention to the wear mark
The difference in traction and grip between a new tyre and an old one is huge. Well worn tires, even winter tires, won't work on snow and ice road. Therefore, tires should be replaced in time according to wear conditions.All tires have wear marks at the depth of 1.6 mm in the pattern, where there is a wear mark there is a small lug boss, the lug boss is called tread wear mark, the tread wear mark English abbreviation TWI is beside the lug boss. Under the premise of normal use, tire wear reaching to the lug boss indicates the need to replace the tire.
2. Guaranteed inflation pressure
Due to the winter low temperature, according to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, owners should appropriately increase tire inflation pressure to reduce tire wear consumption in winter. But at the same time, if the road is icy and slippery, the over high tire inflation pressure will affect the road holding strength of the tire. In general, during the cold winter months, we recommend using 10%-15% higher inflation pressure than the standard, but not exceeding the maximum inflation pressure specified in the product manual. In addition, in the cold winter, car owners should often check the inflation pressure of the tire, when the inflation pressure of the tire is insufficient, it should be supplemented in time.
3. Always remove debris from tire lines
If there is debris in the tire lines when driving there will be a bumpy feeling, and the damage to the tire is also very great, it's especially important to clean it up when you're driving on the highway. A flat tire on the highway is no joke.
