Is it a big deal if new tires don't have red dots?
1 Answers
New tires without red dots are a big deal, as the red dots are very important. Meaning of the red dots on tires: The red dots on tires represent the point of maximum longitudinal rigidity of the tire. Simply put, the spot marked with a red dot is the point on the tire where vibration is the greatest. When the vehicle rotates once on the ground, each position on the tire will experience different degrees of compressive force, which can indirectly affect driving comfort. Maintenance methods for new tires: Perform wheel alignment and tire rotation regularly. For vehicles driven under normal road conditions, it is recommended to perform wheel alignment and tire rotation every 10,000 kilometers. Errors in wheel alignment angles and prolonged lack of tire rotation may lead to steering deviation and abnormal tread wear. Regularly check tire pressure: Tire maintenance also includes regular pressure checks. Tires with pressure above the specified level will significantly reduce tire usage, while tires with pressure below the specified level can cause poor braking performance, difficulty in steering, or heavy steering, and also reduce the tire's service life.
