[ "Clarifying the popular myths about tyresTyres are one of the most important components of a vehicle. They might look simple, but they go through a complex procedure not only while manufacturing but all through their life. Due to its complex nature, there are many myths about Hankook tyres Nottingham that people believe. Let us discuss such myths and the reality behind them.Myth 1- Adequate tyre pressure is determined by the vehicle manufacturer and not the tyre manufacturerYes, you might be surprised to know that the maximum tyre pressure printed on the sidewall of the tyre is not the accurate tyre inflation that you should have in your tyres. The correct inflation pressure present in the tyres is decided by the vehicle manufacturer based on the load-taking capacity of the vehicle.The inflation pressure printed on the sidewall of the tyre is an approximate guess of the tyre manufacturer. If you want to know the accurate tyre pressure that your tyres should have, you can refer to the vehicle's manual or the placard present on the driver's side door.Myth 2- Budget or cheap tyres provide a similar quality as expensive tyresWhile most people think that the only difference between tyres under different brand names is rubber. But other than synthetic and natural rubber, there are many complex elements used while constructing a tyre. All these elements contribute to the safety, performance, strength and durability of the tyre.Tyres really follow the saying 'you get what you pay for'. It is not only the brand's name that contributes to the increased price of the tyre, but it is the overall quality that the brand provides. Different vehicles have different requirements for tyres.But every vehicle's and your common requirement is ensuring safety. Before buying tyres, if you have ensured that your tyres can provide you with a safe ride, then after that, you can decide on other features like affordability and your vehicle's needs.Myth 3- Always place the new tyres on the front sideIt is a popular belief that if your vehicle is a front-wheel-drive vehicle, you need to replace only the front two tyres with the new ones. Well, the front-wheel-drive vehicles' front tyres indeed tend to wear out faster than the rear tyres.This doesn't mean that you do not have to disturb the rear tyres and only have to replace the front ones. In fact, the tyres with the most tread depth should be present at the rear side. This is because they provide stability to the vehicle. You might not notice it in dry weather conditions, but on wet roads, the rear tyres play a very important role in providing the right traction while driving.It is important that you rotate your tyres at regular intervals for even tread wear. We recommend that you get the tyres rotated after every 10000 km or when you start to feel your tyres tread depth is getting lower than required. This way, you will be able to replace all four tyres simultaneously.Myth 4- Tyre's less/more tread depth decides your tyre lifeMostly, people think that if their tyre has enough tread depth in them, then the tyres have enough life left in them. This is not true because it is not only the tread that is important and contributes to the durability of the tyre.Other elements like the type of rubber used, what kind of manufacturing process the tyre went through, the age of your tyres, how you have maintained them and the way you drive, etc., decide the life of your tyres. However, tread depth plays a very important role in ensuring a smooth ride, but it is not everything you look for in the tyres Nottingham.You should regularly check the tread depth, but along with it is important that you look for any cracks in the sidewall, cuts in the rubber, deteriorating rubber condition, etc." ]
