1. Tire selection and installation
The correct tire installation is directly related to the service life of the tire, especially when replacing new tires. For example, the service life of four tires using the same type will definitely be different from that of installing four different tires. Of course, you should also check the classification of the tires clearly when installing them, such as whether they are asymmetric tires. At this time, you need to distinguish between the inner and outer sides. Install directly if they are reversed. Affects the service life of tires.
2. Tire pressure
Tire pressure that is too low or too high will affect the service life of the tire. If the tire pressure is too low, its radial deformation will increase, and both sides of the sidewall will deform excessively, resulting in wear on both shoulders of the crown, which will increase the temperature of the tire and seriously reduce the service life of the tire.
3. Tire load
The greater the load on the vehicle, the shorter the life of the tires. There is no doubt about this. Especially in the case of overload, it is more prominent. Tires produced by regular tire manufacturers are marked with load index. Tires should be used within the maximum load capacity corresponding to the specified load index.
4. Driving speed
The speed at which the tire is traveling will also affect the life of the tire. Although the sidewalls of passenger car tires are rarely marked as high speed, the high-speed operation of the tire and the rapid increase in tire temperature directly affect the life of the tire.
5. Tire temperature
When the vehicle is driving, the tires are stretched, compressed and rubbed, causing the tire temperature to rise. Excessively high temperatures can easily aggravate tire wear and even cause a puncture. Of course, the ambient temperature will also affect the temperature of the tires during driving. For example, the probability of tire puncture is greater in summer than in winter.
6. Chassis condition
The parallelism of the front and rear axles, four-wheel alignment, the working condition of the brake device and the technical condition of other chassis components will affect the life of the vehicle tires to varying degrees. Once a serious traffic collision occurs, the car owner must drive the vehicle to a professional repair station for chassis condition inspection and adjustment.
7. Road conditions
If the vehicle is driven on gravel roads or poor road conditions for a long time, the service life of the tires will definitely be reduced. This is no exception for off-road vehicle tires.
8. Driving habits
This is a factor directly related to the car owner. Starting too fast, turning suddenly, emergency braking, driving at high speed in poor road conditions, frequently going up and down curbs, and tires scraping against obstacles when parking, etc., will all cause serious wear and tear of the tires, thereby reducing the service life of the tires.
9. Tire maintenance
Timely rotation of tires, selection of appropriate tread patterns, daily maintenance, regular tire pressure checks, timely repairs and frequent removal of stones and foreign objects in the tire treads are all important factors in extending tire life.
10. Vehicle maintenance
Many car maintenance experts say that a vehicle should be "repaired 30% and maintained 70%". Don't wait until something breaks down before driving it to a repair station for repair. The regular maintenance of vehicles is also closely related to the extension of tire life. Regular inspection and maintenance of four-wheel alignment, dynamic balancing, steering knuckles, wheel bearings and suspension systems are indispensable.
