Tires are a crucial part of automobiles. It is necessary to know that all kinds of operations such as driving, acceleration and deceleration of a car need to be completed through tires. So the problem of tires for people's driving safety is self-evident. However, many car owners only know how to drive, but don't know much about the structure of tires. They don't know anything about tire replacement standards. Now I will tell you the three major elements of it.
Service life of tires.
As we all know, tires are made of rubber, and the service life of rubber is about 3-5 years. Over time, aging will occur and the strength will obviously decrease. So once useful life is reached, we should replace the tire. In addition, it is important to note that the service life of tires is calculated from the production date. So it is suggested that do not buy inventory tires.
Mileage of Tires
As we all know, tires are the only parts of cars that come into contact with the ground. Long-term driving will inevitably cause wear on the tire surface. In the long run, the rubber thickness will become thinner, which will lead to tire burst or explosion. This is the reason why tires have a mileage limit. Once they have traveled over a certain number of kilometers, we should replace them.
In addition, the tire is marked with a wear limit mark point. Once the wear degree exceeds the limit point, it must be replaced. Attention should also be paid to the fact that cars with excessively worn tires must not drive on the highway. That is easy to cause tire burst and even affect personal safety.
Tire Damage
Car owners who often drive should understand that the tires are prone to damage. In particular, the sides of the tires are easy to scratch. And once the damage is caused, it is easy to cause a puncture or a bulge if it is not noticed.
What’s more, if you go through the pits without slowing down frequently, it will cause the tires to bear excessive pressure and easily cause the tires to bulge. Therefore, if you want to drive through uneven roads, you must drive slowly and not in a hurry.
People often encounters the tragic experience of tire puncture. Once the tire is punctured, it must be repaired as soon as possible. And the repaired tire must be moved to the rear wheel of the vehicle. In addition, if the tires are punctured more than twice, it is recommended to replace the tires, otherwise air leakage may occur, especially when running long distances. That is dangerous.
Notes on Tire Replacement
Try to keep the friction between the left and right wheels consistent. The chassis suspension will be out of balance and the vehicle will deviate, otherwise. Therefore, it is more appropriate to replace tires in pairs.
These are the three major elements of the tire replacement standard. Are you clear now? Tires are related to the safety of the whole car, as well as the safety of car owners and passengers. We must pay attention to it.
