How to extend tire life through tire maintenance and wheel weights when the price surge hits？
Under the joint influence of various factors, the tire industry has ushered in a significant wave of price increases. This trend, whether people are willing to believe it or not, has arrived as scheduled. Whether accepted or not, it will not change.
At present, the phenomenon of tire price increases continues and is hot. 60 price increase notices have been issued one after another, including Sailun, Zhengxin, Wanli, Linglong, General Motors, Jinyu, Majis, Jiatong, Shuangqian, Sanjiao, Guizhou, Haohua, Huasheng, Fangxing, Shuangxing, Jinhu, Fengshen, Bayi, Fengyuan, Haida, Chengshan, etc. The highest increase in tire products involved has reached 6%.
In the face of rising tire prices, there are increasingly more opportunities and challenges to be faced. The chaos and unfairness in the tire market are becoming increasingly apparent, which has filled the person who sells tires with anger and complaints. So the maintenance of tires has become particularly important.
How to make car tires more durable and long-lasting? Here, Shengshi Weiye shares some tips on tire maintenance with you!
1、 Maintain the correct tire pressure
Regularly checking tire pressure is a key step in maintaining tires. Appropriate tire pressure can ensure uniform contact area between the tire and the ground, reducing irregular wear. If the tire pressure is too high, the central part of the tire will wear excessively, and it will also increase the risk of tire blowouts; If the tire pressure is too low, it will increase the wear on both sides of the tire and lead to an increase in fuel consumption. You can refer to the vehicle manual or the markings on the tire side to understand the correct tire pressure range, and use a tire pressure gauge to regularly check and adjust.
2、 Avoid sudden acceleration, sudden braking, and sudden turns
Intense driving behavior can cause serious damage to the tires. Rapid acceleration can cause severe friction between the tires and the ground, accelerating tire wear; Sudden braking can cause immense pressure on the tires, which can easily lead to tire deformation and damage; Sharp turns can cause significant lateral forces on the tire side, increasing the risk of tire slip and wear. Maintaining a stable driving habit can extend the useful life of tires.
3、 Pay attention to road conditions and avoid driving on rough roads
Try to avoid driving on rough roads such as potholes, gravel, mud, etc. These road surfaces can cause impact and scratching on the tires, which can easily lead to tire damage. If it is impossible to avoid driving on rough roads, slow down to reduce damage to the tires. In addition, it is important to avoid colliding with curbstones and other obstacles to prevent damage the tire.
4、 Regularly conduct tire dynamic balance tests
Due to different stress conditions in different parts of the vehicle, the degree of tire wear may also vary. When the wheels rotate at high speeds, if they are unbalanced, it can cause irregular wear on the tires. Unbalanced wheels can cause uneven stress on certain parts of the tire, such as excessive wear on the shoulder, while other parts of the tire surface wear relatively less. Using wheel weights can make the tire travel more smoothly, ensure that the wheels are evenly stressed during rotation, make tire wear more uniform, and extend the service life of the tire. Good dynamic balance can not only eliminate vibration, improve driving stability and safety, but also make you feel more at ease while driving. In this way, you don't have to change tires frequently, saving the cost of tire replacement.
The wheel weights plays a crucial role in dynamic balance adjustment. Shengshi Weiye wheel weights are precise in weight and reliable in quality. The wheel weights we produced use advanced production technology to ensure that the weight error of each balance block is controlled within a very small range, which can effectively provide accurate balance adjustment for the wheels. At present, it has become the first choice for many car repair shops and OEMs.
Through the above maintenance measures, the service life of tires can be extended, the cost of tire replacement can be reduced, and the driving safety of vehicles can also be improved in the face of rising tire prices.
