Things you can do to prolong the life of Your Tires
One of the best ways to keep tires from becoming a waste management problem in the first place is to make them last. Rubber Tires wear down as a result of environmental conditions and normal wear and tear, but there are several things that you can do to help ensure that they don’t wear out before they should.
Rotate your Tires after every 5,000-8,000 Miles
Not all the tires on a car can get the same amount of use when
driving the road. For instance, the front tires receive more wear and tear than
the tires on the rear axle on a front-wheel-drive vehicle. The opposite is true
for a rear-wheel-drive car. Even tires on wheel drive are used unevenly as the
car’s computer shifts the work from one tire to another.
2. Check the air
pressure once a month
Under standard
driving conditions, cars usually lose one PSI (Pound Per Month) per month.
During colder weather, this may be higher because the lower temperatures cause
the air inside the tire to compress and take up less space. The opposite is
true during the summer months. The warmer causes the air to expand and pressure
inside the tire to rise.
Having the
wrong air pressure inside the tire affects how the car performs inside out,
underinflated tires can cause the vehicle to have an increased stopping
distance and be less responsive to the wear and tear itself. This
sluggish response time makes it harder to avoid collisions. Underinflating also
increases the wear and tear on the tire. A flatter tire has more rubber in contact
with the road. This friction wears at the away tread and tire walls. The Fuel
efficiency of a car goes down when the tires are not properly inflated as well.
Driving will cost you more.
3.Have Your
Wheels balanced
Car Tires are
inherently unbalanced. The manufacturing process while precise is not perfect.
There are heavier and lighter spots in every tire. The difference is usually ¼
to ½ an ounce more or less than the rest tire. This seemingly insignificant
difference can lead to a small amount of vibration and extra tire wear.
Tire
rebalancing is done by a machine that can detect these weight differences and
minor adjustments to compensate for them; It is a good idea to have your car
tires balance each when they rotated.
