Car knowledge teaches you four tricks to use tires correctly for longer life

The service life of a tire is generally 50,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Such a range of use is very flexible, so how to use the tire correctly to make it more "longevity"?

Reasonable tire replacement can extend life

Many drivers will not replace the four tires in the end, in fact, this is very bad for the tires.

In normal vehicles, the front wheels are subject to lateral wear and braking due to lateral drag and braking devices. The rear wheels are heavily fatigued, especially when driving the wheels. Therefore, changing the tire position in time can average the partial wear and fatigue, and promote the life of the tire. Some experts said that a reasonable shift can extend the life of the tires by 20%.

It is best to cross replacement

Generally speaking, there are two ways to change the tires. The first way is to swap the left front tire and the left rear tire, the right front tire and the right rear tire are swapped; the second method is the cross swap, that is to say Replacing the left front tire to the right rear tire position and the right front tire to the left rear tire position, the second method is relatively better.

As for the number of kilometers exchanged, some models of the "Vehicle User Manual" suggest that front-wheel drive vehicles should be transposed every 8000 kilometers, while four-wheel drive vehicles need to be replaced every 6000 kilometers.

Spare tires can also be used as replacement tires

Many drivers often think of spare tires only when car tires get stuck or puncture. In fact, if the specifications and structure of the spare tire are the same as the tires normally used in the car, the most scientific and reasonable method is to cross-replace the spare tire together, so that the wear of the 5 tires can be evenly distributed. Waste spare tires.

Add talc to the tires in summer

To extend the service life of tires, there are still many situations that need attention. For example, the tire wear will increase in the hot summer, so you should pay attention to cooling the tire when driving. But do not deflate or lower the pressure, or splash with cold water, it is best to stop in the shade on the way to cool down; try not to expose the car to the sun; also, regularly disassemble, add a certain amount of talcum powder to prevent the inner and outer tires Bonding.
