[ "Some important guidelines regarding your car tyresTyre surface is made up of rubber-encased cords. If acord breaks, it can't transfer heat or provide any shock absorption. This meansthat your tires ability to perform at its best will be compromisedWhen should I get my tyres checked?A visual inspection of the Continental Tyres Coventry sidewall may reveal a problem - such asseparation or partial cuts in the tire's sidewall. Typically, these issues arerelated to external factors such as driving on underinflated tyres, driving ongravel roads, hitting potholes. The result is bulging and cracking rubber fromexcessive flexing. Our technicians can quickly assess whether there is a riskfor further damage or puncture by running their hands over the tyre and lookingfor loose cords (indicating that a cord has already broken)If you ever hear a loud bang while driving, don't keepdriving - especially if you suspect the noise is related to your tyresStop and inspect your tyres as soon as possibleto make sure there isn't any damage. In some cases, this could prevent severefurther damage or puncture caused by an undetected faulty tyre component. Suchproblems occur when external factors cause the tires sidewall to flexexcessively, damaging parts like steel cables inside the tyre.Depending on how many of these components havebeen damaged, it may be safe to drive slowly and carefully with care until youget home or reach a repair centreWhen should I replace my tyres?While you can extend the time between tyre changes byregularly checking your tyre pressure and driving carefully when the tyres areworn, it's still important to plan for new tyres before you need them.Periodically inspecting your tyres is a good way of reducing your risk ofhaving a flat tire in the middle of rush hour - or on another occasion when timeand other resources (like getting a tow truck) may not be readily availableTyre age & safety standards:There is a general misconception that they're always safeif your tyres are legal. However, it's been shown that older tyres can becomeunsafe for use even though they're still legal and their tread is still in goodcondition. This was demonstrated by a study on rubber compounds - which foundthat as conditions such as temperature and humidity change, so too do theproperties of manufactured rubber compounds and tire components like steelcablesOver time, we've found that some unpaged rubber compoundsperform better than others over time (when exposed to extreme environmentalchanges). But what does this mean for you? As temperatures change throughoutthe year, your Car Tyres Coventry canexperience a variety of effects:;Internal damage to the tyre structure due tometal fatigue and corrosion (which affects the steel belts inside your tyres).Chemical reactions caused by humidity andtemperature changes affect the bonding between rubber and other components inthe compound.Less effective radials under certain conditionscould compromise ride comfort and handling while increasing noise levels duringoperationThe best way to proactively avoid age-related tyreproblems is by regularly inspecting your tyres for any irregularities thatcould affect their performance. The more often you check your tyres, theearlier you're likely to discover problems related to deterioration - and cantake proactive steps to correct them before they become a safety hazard on theroadTips for deciding when it's time to replace yourvehicle's tyres:;Be aware of tread wear indicators (or wear bars)which show up as bands across the surface of a cross-section of a tyre -usually on a new tyre worn down until these lines appear in its groovesIf you're unsure how many miles are on yourcurrent tyres, check inside your vehicle's driver-side door jam or ask yourservice adviser at an auto shop that sells tyresStudy the manufacturer's recommendations forwhen to replace your tyres (mainly for original equipment tyres installed whennew) and use these as guidelines when deciding when to get new ones (if theydon't already have plenty of treads remaining)Make sure you know the date you bought your lastset of new replacement tyresRemember that heat and exposure to the elementswill cause tyres to age faster, reducing their service lifeIf your tyres have been exposed to saltwater,they should be inspected by a professional as soon as possible since this canaccelerate their deterioration." ]
