How to maintain tires daily
1. Ensure correct tire pressure: Different vehicles have different air pressure standards for the front and rear wheels and spare tires. The standard tire pressure data provided by the automobile manufacturer is generally posted on the door pillars of the vehicle. If the air pressure is increased by 25%, the tire life will be shortened by about 30%.
2. Tire appearance inspection: Check the tires regularly for bulges, cracks, cuts, nails and abnormal wear. Special attention should be paid to checking the wear of the tire tread and tire edges. Abnormal wear is often caused by poor positioning or abnormal tire pressure.
3. Keep the tire surface clean: Keeping it clean is one of the important factors in extending tire life. Especially in winter, you need to pay attention to tire cleaning before and after driving, and check whether the tire tread is covered with ice and snow before driving. Especially when the ice and snow in the tire tread is very hard, do not forcefully dig it out, and do not pour boiling water on the tire. Use room temperature water to pour the tire and clean it. At the same time, you should also check whether there are stones, iron blocks, nails and other foreign objects in the tread, especially new tires, and clean them in time.
4. Tire positioning and balance: If you find uneven tire wear or excessive vehicle vibration, it may be due to poor positioning or imbalance. These situations will not only shorten the service life of the tires, but also affect the vehicle's handling performance. You should go to the repair station for inspection immediately, and perform four-wheel alignment or tire dynamic balancing based on the inspection results.
5. Replace tires regularly: For vehicles that often run on high speeds, the tire replacement time and mileage should be appropriately advanced. Moreover, driving habits and driving environment also have a great impact.
