What to Pay Attention to When Changing Tires?
1 Answers
Precautions for changing tires are as follows: 1. Choose the right tires: The specifications of the tires must be the same as the previous tires and must match the other tire on the same axle, such as speed rating, load index, tread pattern, brand, size, etc., to ensure safe driving. 2. Replace the valve stem: When changing tires, the aging cycle of the new tires and the valve stem may differ. The valve stem might develop issues within the new tire's cycle, so it's best to replace the valve stem at the same time as changing the tires. 3. Pay attention to the installation direction and inflation: If using the original tires, install them according to the manufacturer's requirements. For non-original tires, generally the side with the production date should face outward. For directional tires, align the arrow on the wheel with the direction of the car's forward movement. When inflating, you can inflate to the maximum pressure allowed by the tire and then reduce it to the standard pressure specified by the manufacturer.
