What should be noted when modifying car wheels?

Precautions for changing car tires are as follows: 1. Choose the appropriate tires. The specifications of the tires should be the same as the previous ones and must match the other tire on the same axle. 2. Replace the valve stem as well. When you change the tires, the aging cycles of the new tires and the old valve stems differ. During the new tire's cycle, the valve stem may develop issues. 3. Installation direction and inflation. The arrow on the wheel should align with the direction of the car's forward movement. Inflate the tire to the maximum allowable pressure and then reduce it to the manufacturer's specified standard pressure. 4. It is best to install new tires on the rear axle of the vehicle. If more worn tires are placed on the rear axle, the rear wheels' drainage capability will be reduced, increasing the risk of driving in rainy conditions. Therefore, if only two new tires are installed, they should be placed on the rear wheels.
