When it comes to the topic of car tire maintenance, most car owners may not really think about it. Nowadays, the way to maintain tires is basically to wash the mud on the tires with clean water or use some cleaning fluid to brush other dirt attached to the tires. This maintenance method, if divided by level, should be classified as *primary maintenance. And cleaning the mud is the only effect of this maintenance method.
Actually, car owners may wish to pay attention to this. This kind of rough car washing method does not work at all on the stolen goods hidden in the tiny corners of the tires. Don’t underestimate this inconspicuous corner, it really delays things at a critical time.
Sundries in the tire tread
During the use of tires, due to the different driving environments, there are often some hard things such as small stones caught in the tire pattern. If these small stones are not removed in time, it will take a long time. Some of them will fall off with the continuous expansion of the tire pattern when the tire rolls, and some will puncture or cut the tire carcass when the tire pattern continues to become shallow. It can cause air leaks or flat tires.
Gas nozzle and gas nozzle cap
When the vehicle is parked on the side of the road or close to certain fixed objects, the air nozzle of the tire will often touch the sidewalk and other objects. At this time, the root of the air nozzle may be cut by the border (sharp) of the rim, causing air leakage (heavier, it will leak out quickly, and it may be inflated once in a few days). So try not to use too long a gas nozzle to reduce the occurrence of this situation. There is a device on the top of the gas nozzle 'cap' which is more popular in the market at present, so that the gas pressure can be tested without unscrewing the nozzle cap, and it can be measured directly with a barometer. Although this kind of gas nozzle is convenient, but the gas nozzle cap is too long, it is recommended not to just save trouble and cause unnecessary trouble. Seriously speaking, the regular valve cap is a small part that is easy to be ignored. It can prevent dust and other dirt from entering the valve. Some dust or small sand particles entering the air nozzle may push the air needle (deflate) or push the air needle (deform the air needle) and cause the tire to leak. Therefore, you must pay attention to the air nozzle cap every time you check the tires.
The spare tire in the trunk
In addition to checking the air pressure of the spare tire frequently, attention should also be paid to the storage of the spare tire. Most car owners will put the spare tire and common oil products such as engine oil in the trunk together. At this time, you must be careful not to let the oil directly touch your spare tire. As we all know, the main raw material of tires is rubber, and rubber is most afraid of oil stains. The oil stains immersed in the rubber can destroy the molecular structure of the rubber, accelerate its aging, and shorten its service life. If the tires are contaminated with oil when changing the engine oil, they should also be cleaned with a detergent with strong degreasing power in time.
One avoid three attention when buying tires
First, give priority to the original tires. The original tires are * able to match the speed of the car and the maximum axle load of the car. Therefore, theoretically speaking, priority should be given to the replacement of tires.
Next, pay attention to the tire pattern. The pattern on the car tire not only plays a beautiful role, but also has a great impact on the performance of the tire. Especially for cars that often drive in southern cities, you should choose tires with better drainage patterns, such as regular small blocks. For cars that require off-road and long-distance running, you can choose large blocks.
After *, if you are not satisfied with the original handling of the vehicle, you can consider replacing tires with a lower flat ratio. For many models, one of the most effective ways to improve the appearance and handling performance of the vehicle is to replace tires with a low aspect ratio.
