It is advisable to check the tire pressure before long trips, as this places the maximum temperature load on the tires. When driving long distances at high speeds with reduced tire pressure, more energy is expended to deform the tire, causing it to overheat and may cause separation of the profile layer or even tire blowout. Lower tire pressure also increases fuel consumption.
Constantly checking the condition of the tires will allow you to detect intensive wear in a timely manner and eliminate its cause, which will help to avoid more serious consequences.
In the presence of uneven tire wear, it is necessary to find the cause of this and eliminate it.
Check the tires for cuts, punctures and foreign objects in the tires. Tire leaks can be identified with soap suds.
Carefully inspect the inside side of each tire for traces of brake fluid.
Required tire pressure extends tire life and should therefore be checked regularly. Check tire pressure only when tires are cold.
When changing wheels, it is impractical to change the direction of rotation of the tire, since their repeated running in will cause increased tire wear.
Checking the wear level of tire treads
Wheel tires must be replaced immediately if the special indicators located at the bottom of the tread (IN) as a result of wear, they will become equal to the surface of the tire tread. The position of the pointers is indicated by a triangular mark on the tire bead (A).
Tire tread depth measurement
Tire tread depth can be controlled with a special device and when the wear limit is reached, the tire must be replaced.
Tire pressure check
Tire pressure is checked only on cold tires. Optimum tire pressure increases tire life and vehicle performance.
