What are the harms of ozone treatment to cars?
1 Answers
Prolonged ozone treatment can cause rubber components in the car to age. The correct maintenance methods for tires are as follows: 1. Check tire pressure monthly: Both underinflation and overinflation will lead to abnormal tire wear, shorten tire lifespan, increase fuel consumption, and even raise the risk of blowouts. Tire pressure checks must be performed when the tires are cold. You can use a tire pressure gauge or a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) to check the pressure. The standard tire pressure is approximately 2.2~2.6 bar; excessive pressure can accelerate tire wear and may cause blowouts, while insufficient pressure increases fuel consumption and makes the ride bumpier. Generally, tire pressure can be slightly lower in summer and slightly higher in winter. 2. Always pay attention to the tire wear indicators: The wear indicators are located in the main tread grooves and appear as trapezoidal rubber bars. When the tread wears down to the level of these indicators, the tire must be replaced. During the rainy season, to prevent skidding on wet roads, the tread depth should be maintained at least 3mm. 3. Be mindful of the tire's expiration date: Tires are rubber products and thus are subject to aging. The typical shelf life for tire rubber is 4-5 years. After this period, the rubber ages more rapidly, leading to decreased tire performance. For example, the code "9MCR0810" indicates the tire's production date, with the last four digits "0810" meaning the tire was produced in the 8th week of 2010.
