Driving habits and tyre care are largely responsible for the state of your Car Tyres. Every car has parts that need to be replaced constantly and the cost of replacing tyres, is more than all these parts. Proper tyre care can substantially prolong their average life apart from allowing you to enjoy more comfortable and safe motoring. To take care of your tyres some basic checks should be followed upon:
One of the most common and important checks is inflation pressure. Always maintain correct inflation pressure in your tyres. To ensure this get the inflation pressure checked on cold tyres every few days. Maintaining correct air pressure keeps the tyre healthy and increase the life of tyre.
Under-inflation
When
a tyre is under-inflated, the sidewalls flex more, creating
a build-up of heat
Heat
can destroy a tyre from the inside out, causing the tyre to
literally come apart
Over Inflation
Over
inflation reduces the ability of the tyre to absorb road
shocks resulting in a much harsher ride
Excessive
over inflation may lead to impact fracture or other casing
failures
Over
inflation will also cause excessive wear of the centre
of the tyre. It also results in smaller footprints
and less grip
Wheel Alignment
should be done once a year or at 20000 Kms whichever is earlier. Properly aligned wheels will roll smoothly, eliminate the dangers of dragging and reduce steering effort. This ensures better driving safety and an even wear of tyres.
When should the alignment be done?
Tyre
wear is irregular
Tyre
wear is excessive
Car
steers hard or keeps pulling to one side
Front
suspension or steering linkage components are replaced
