How to Maintain Tires to Prevent Cracking?
1 Answers
Methods to maintain tires and prevent cracking are as follows: 1. Perform wheel alignment and tire rotation. For vehicles driven under normal road conditions, it is recommended to conduct wheel alignment and tire rotation every 10,000 kilometers. Misaligned wheel angles and prolonged lack of tire rotation may cause steering deviation and abnormal tread wear. 2. Regularly check tire pressure. Tire maintenance also includes periodic pressure checks. Overinflated tires significantly reduce their lifespan, while underinflated tires can lead to poor braking performance, difficulty in steering, or heavy steering, as well as a shortened tire lifespan. 3. Always pay attention to wear indicators. The tire wear indicators are located in the main tread grooves and appear as trapezoidal rubber blocks. When the tread wears down to the level of these indicators, the tire must be replaced. During the rainy season, to prevent hydroplaning, the tread depth should be maintained at least 3mm. 4. Frequently inspect tire conditions. Regularly check tires for issues such as bulges, cracks, cuts, punctures, aging valve rubber, and abnormal wear. Special attention should be paid to the tread and sidewall wear.
