Car
Tyres have an important bearing on the performance and safety of the
car. There should be uniformity of tread pattern in the tyres. Don't mix
radial tyres with other tyres. Always ensure that the tyres have prescribed air pressure. Air pressure should be checked on cold tyres and not when they are hot as the air expands when hot. Having lower air pressure than prescribed adversely affect stability during drive, causes high fuel consumption and harms the suspensions, while excessive air pressure results in faster wear of treads and results in a hard and bumpy ride.
Rotate the tyres diagonally after every 5000 km; i.e. front right tyre should be rotated with rear left and front left should be rotated with rear right.
Make sure that the wheels are properly balanced. This will eliminate the centrifugal force and prevent the wobbling of tyre. Regularly check the wheel alignment of your vehicle as proper wheel alignment prolongs the life of the tyres and enhance the safety of the car.
