Preventing punctures | How to do tire testing and maintenance
In the daily car process, most of us care about how to carry out engine maintenance but ignore the knowledge of tires. Tire is one of the most important parts of a car. It is not only related to the handling performance of the vehicle, but also relates to the personal safety of the occupants. Therefore, more understanding of tire knowledge is what every car owner should have. How to do tire testing and tire maintenance work is one of the important foundations for safe driving.
1. First of all, check the air pressure of all the tires in the car under cooling conditions at least once a month. If the air pressure is found to be insufficient, find the cause of the air leak. (Be sure to check the tire pressure after the tire has cooled down.)
2, please check frequently to find out whether there are bulging, cracks, cuts, nails and abnormal tire wear. If you find these situations, you must immediately check with a professional.
3. There is a wear indicator at the depth of 1.6 mm left in the tread groove. The tire wears to the wear indicator and must be replaced. It is dangerous to use tires that exceed the wear indicator, especially on wetlands, because drainage performance has been greatly reduced.
4. Regularly carry out four-wheel alignment inspection on the vehicle. If it is found that the positioning is bad, it should be corrected in time. Otherwise, the tire will be irregularly worn and affect the mileage life of the tire. It is recommended to adjust the position once every 8000 to 10000 km.
5, while doing daily tire testing and maintenance, do not neglect the existence of spare tires, we must regularly check the inflation of the spare tires, maintain the standard air pressure, to avoid becoming a display at critical moments.
Ps: When disassembling the tires during maintenance of the wheels, a good quality tire changer should be used to avoid unnecessary damage to the hub and tires.
