High ground temperature in summer is one of the main causes of tire problems, especially for automobile tires that have been used for a certain period of time, we should always pay attention to their operation and wear conditions. Once it is found that the tire is eccentric worn, the pattern becomes shallow and the tire pressure is unstable, it should be maintained or replaced in time.
Daily maintenance of summer tires
The shelf life of tire rubber is generally about 5 years. The service life of tire is closely related to service, storage and other conditions. Tire aging, premature dot display age of tire sidewall, accidental damage and abnormal wear of tire can not be used anymore. In daily use, we suggest you take the following maintenance measures:
Suggestion 1: check the tire pressure frequently
The first step is to prepare a barometer. It is recommended to use a mechanical barometer, which is relatively accurate.
The second step is to get up in the morning and measure the air pressure before the vehicle starts (check it once a month). Because the tire will completely cool down after driving and standing for 4 hours, the measured air pressure is the most accurate.
The third step is to see if there is any difference between the measured value and the standard value. The standard tire pressure is marked on the driver's door or on the side of the door. If it is too high, release some air. If it is lower than the standard, replenish air. It is best to choose the distance from the inflation point not to exceed 1.6km, because the tire pressure is still accurate after the car has been standing for 4 hours and driving within 1.6km. If it exceeds 1.6km, it shall be inflated by 5% during inflation.
Suggestion 2: try to choose a cool flat place for parking
First, when parking in summer, you should park the car in a place where there is no sun exposure for a long time, because long-term exposure to the sun will lead to the aging of the rubber surface of the tire and increase the probability of tire burst.
Second, the parking should ensure that all four wheels are parked on the same level ground, and the car must not be parked on the road with one high and one low. Otherwise, the tire at the lowest position will be subjected to too high pressure, resulting in the deformation of the steel wire inside the tire, resulting in tire damage.
Suggestion 3: pay attention to cleaning the foreign matters on the tire pattern
The car mainly cleans the tire regularly to prevent foreign matters in the groove of the tire pattern. If foreign matters such as nails are found to pierce into the tire, don't rush to pull them out, and immediately drive to a professional tire store for help. Regularly check whether the tire is damaged, such as binding nails and cuts. The damaged tire should be repaired or replaced in time. Once the tires of the two front wheels are repaired, they should be adjusted to the rear wheels in time to ensure that there are no hidden dangers in the two front wheels.
Recommendation 4: check the tire condition regularly
Due to the rising temperature in summer, the tread is softer than that in winter, which will theoretically accelerate the wear of tires. Generally, the service life of tires specified by the manufacturer is between 80000-100000 km (or about 5 years), but the specific situation still depends on the driving situation of the owner. Therefore, the wear of tires must be checked regularly to ensure safe driving.
