Why the Tires Broke Down So Fast

Every driver knows that tires are one of the most important elements of their vehicle, but many are unaware that it is also one of the components that suffer the most wear. The tires must replace frequently, their cost is high, and therefore, it is convenient to avoid bad habits that shorten their lives and endanger your safety and that of others. You should never forget that it is the only thing that keeps the car in contact with the ground, one of the members of the ways of saving in pneumatic without putting your life at risk, today we are going to review the bad practices that you should not commit again.

Do not monitor pressures

We must not forget that the pressure of the wheels will also depend on the load that the car supports. If we are going to start a trip with a trailer or an excessive load, it recommended that the wheel pressure is above 3 bar pressure. Once the journey is finished, the wheel pressure should return to normal, to avoid the situations mentioned above.

Climb curbs or brush them when parking

Some drivers use the curb system as a reference for parking. Badly done. This practice can tear the flank. This area, better known for being where the numbers that used for reading the tire located, is the most affected with the performance of these practices. If a small tear or lumps appear, it is important to replace it as soon as possible, as the structural integrity of the tire is affected. The same happens when we climb curbs. It is advisable to avoid uploading them, but if we forced to do so, let it be at the least possible speed.

Drive aggressively

Once again, aggressive driving is a source of problems. Accelerating, braking, and cornering above the recommended speed causes much faster wear. Being prudent will allow your tires to have a longer and higher quality life. In the case of having a higher power car, the tires will be more prone to premature wear, take care of them.

Within this point, we must include going at high speed for highlights. This practice is widespread. Indeed, sometimes they are poorly marked, but in most cases, it is not due to this cause. You should know that going at full speed on the slopes and guards lying down, seriously shortens the life of your tires. The most serious consequence of this type of practice is that you can load the alignment of the car, which will cause uneven wear of the wheels, leading us to change the wheel again.

Do not rotate your tires

Some will think, what it is about rotating the tires? Very simple, to rotate the tires is to modify the position of the car’s wheels. We have to take into account that the tires wear out following a pattern that derives from the level of inflation, the state of the shock absorbers. This little practice helps to avoid uneven wear. Therefore, it is advisable to rotate the wheels 10 or 15,000 km, but it depends on the use and wear of the vehicle. We keep in mind the rotation is different depending on the driving wheels, and if the car has tires with a directional tread.

Ignore irregular vibrations and wear

When you start to notice that the direction begins to vibrate at a certain speed remarkably, you should not ignore it because it is possible that the balancing of some of your tires broke, or worse than the alignment, mentioned above has modified. There are many reasons that cause these damages; especially the poor state of the roads. It’s one of the

But how is balancing done? The first thing is to optimize the position of the tire that the intervention of the counterweights is very high. The objective is very simple is to compensate the point of greatest weight of the tire with the least heavy of the wheel, and thus the difference to be corrected will be less. Then, with the help of a balancing machine, the appropriate amount must be placed on each wheel. This amount will be related to the tire size, the thickness of the studs, and the tread. This way, we will avoid vibrations.

The alignment is also important, as the car must roll correctly. As we have seen before, passing a high speed can change the alignment. Vibrations or suspensions can also result from an alignment problem. In short, no matter the reason, the important thing is to your workshop when your car is giving you clues through these symptoms. Checking the balance and alignment can avoid breakdowns and major expenses.
