What is the direction of car tire screws?
1 Answers
The direction for tightening car tire screws is clockwise, while the direction for loosening them is counterclockwise. Signals indicating the need for car tire replacement: 1. Tread wear approaching the wear indicator: Any brand of tire will have a wear indicator at the bottom of the tread grooves. Generally, the wear indicator height for passenger car tires is 1.6 mm, while for heavy-duty tires it is 2.4 mm. Some car owners believe that as long as the tire is not punctured, they can continue to use it even if the tread pattern is almost worn out. Such old tires are actually very dangerous. When encountering wet or slippery roads, the tread pattern cannot completely drain the water beneath the tire, which can easily lead to loss of vehicle control. 2. Tire damage such as cracks or bulges: Tire damage includes tread cracks, tread bulges, missing tread rubber, severe sidewall wear, and multiple punctures by foreign objects. Especially in the case of bulges, the tire is at risk of bursting at any time. As soon as these types of damage are noticed, car owners should promptly take their vehicle to a professional tire shop for inspection and replace the tires as necessary. 3. Tire age expiration: The typical service life of a tire is around 5 years. Beyond this period, the tire begins to age. The main signs of tire aging are surface hardening followed by the appearance of cracks. Aged tires lose their elasticity, and continued use can lead to tread deformation, posing a risk of tire blowout.
