1. Measure tire pressure regularly
This method is the simplest, many people know it but rarely implement it. Air pressure plays a very important role in the use of tires. It is not only responsible for absorbing road vibrations, but also plays an important role in maintaining tire rigidity. Excessive tire pressure will reduce the contact surface between the tire and the road, causing serious wear and tear on the central pattern of the tire, affecting its service life.
Compared with too high tire pressure, too low tire pressure is more harmful. Insufficient tire pressure will not only cause excessive wear on both sides of the tire, but also increase the chance of the outer edge of the aluminum rim directly hitting the road surface without the protection of tire pressure. This may lead to deformation and rupture of the aluminum rim.
2. Adjust the tires regularly to allow the four wheels to wear evenly
Regularly adjust the front and rear tires. The main reason why the front and rear tires need to be swapped is that the tire responsible for providing driving force usually wears faster than the tire that does not provide driving force. For example, the front wheel of a front-wheel drive vehicle wears faster than the rear wheel. , the rear wheels of a rear-wheel drive vehicle will be faster than the front wheels, while a four-wheel drive vehicle will depend on the torque distribution between the front and rear wheels. Because of this, if you do not adjust the front and rear wheels after driving for a period of time, you will not be able to adjust the four tires. At the same time, when they are worn out, two new tires may need to be replaced on the drive wheels. Not only will it be impossible to effectively manage the tire replacement cycle, but the two unused old tires will also cause the rubber to age and change due to prolonged use. Hard, the four-wheel grip is uneven, and it is not conducive to vehicle control.
3. Correct four-wheel alignment to reduce tire wear
The use environment of four-wheel alignment is not only for modified cars, but also for general original cars. In order to have a stable vehicle dynamic response and obtain safe high-speed driving performance, incorrect alignment settings will cause In addition to the tire wear rate, it can also easily put people and cars in an unstable driving environment. The impact is even higher than that of other car parts. It is a very important and basic chassis maintenance item.
4. Correct bead specifications and matching, so that the sidewall stress is correct
Some original factory tires are usually unable to provide large-size rims due to cost considerations. Therefore, many car owners often meet their own needs through subsequent upgrades. Some car owners even deliberately use wide-width aluminum rims with narrow tires to meet their own needs. Create an exaggerated visual effect, but the abnormal combination of bead specifications will shorten the life of the tire.
5. Don't use tire oil indiscriminately, as it may cause tire quality to deteriorate.
Tires are just like the human body. They need to be cleaned and maintained regularly, especially the sidewalls. If they are not cleaned for a long time, khaki sediment will adhere to the surface, which does not look beautiful. Therefore, many people wash their cars after , are accustomed to using cleaning products or tire oil to keep the sidewalls black and shiny. However, you should know that incorrect tire cleaning methods sometimes shorten the tire life.
