[ "BALD TYRES: SIGNS AND CONSEQUENCESTyres are the lifeline of any vehicle. A vehicle is able toperform on the road because of the presence of tyres. They are the main linkbetween a vehicle and the road. They are expected to maintain firm contact withthe road. However, there is a limit to their performance. Over a period oftime, the tyres lose their capability to function properly as they startbecoming old. However, it is important for one to spot when the tyres are goingthrough their final stage. There are many signs which could tell someone if thetyres are in a good condition or notA WHAT ARE BALD TYRES?Bald tyres can be seen when there is less or no tread left on the tyres. There is a legal requirement in which the tyre treads are supposed to be of 1.6 mm deep. Bald tyres do not meet this requirement and hence, they are considered dangerous for driving. The rubber gets worn down after continuous contact with the road. There are many reasons because of which these problems may ariseB. WHAT ARE THE DANGERS OF DRIVING ON BALD TYRES?If not checked with the car manufacturer at the correct time, these bald tyres may cause a lot of risks.RISK OF HYDROPLANINGHydroplaning is a condition where the cars on wet surfaces lose control. Bald tyres have very less tread depth. Because of this, it becomes impossible for them to channel out all the water that enters inside. Less tread depth usually means shallower grooves, which are solely responsible for maintaining firm contact with roads during rainy seasons. Grooves must be in a good condition at anycost to avoid this condition. Michelin Tyres Birmingham has good quality grooves which expel as much water as possibleHEAT BUILD-UPThere is a friction that is created between the tyres and the roads. Too much of friction creates heat. It is because of this heat build-up that causes blowouts. If someone tries driving their car at high speeds, then it becomes riskier. The treads help in allowing the air in between the grooves which eventually helps in the cooldown of tyres. But this is not the case with bald tyresBLOWOUTSBald tyres are more prone to causing suddenunexpected blowouts. Treads have a better capability to resist punctures whenthey hit by a sharp object or a nail. Driving on bald tyres compromises withyour safety causing dangerous or sometimes even fatal accidentsC.HOW TO KNOW IF THE TYRES ARE BALDING?;KNOW THE TREAD INDICATORSThe tyre wear bar, also known as tread wear indicators tell you if the tyres are bald or not. Nowadays, these wear bars are designed by the manufacturers on the tyres. They arent visible when there is enough tread available. As the treads start wearing down, these bars can be seen pointing towards damaged tyres. They can be seen when the tread depth reaches 2/32. This is the time when you should strictly consider replacing as they become very unsafe to use. Michelin Tyres Birmingham is designed considering high safety standardsCRACKSThe sidewall cracks happen when they dry out. This drying out leads to cracks and bulges. Bulges could also be seen which can lead to internal damage. The cracks and bulges pose a huge risk to structural integrityLOW TREAD DEPTHThe low tread depth can be tested by using the penny test. Take a penny and insert Lincolns head into the grooves in tyre treads. If Lincolns head becomes completely visible, then it is time that you change your tyresTyres Birmingham is safe, fast, efficient and reliable with long tyre life." ]
