[ "BALD TYRES: SIGNS AND CONSEQUENCESTyres are the lifeline of any vehicle. A vehicle is able to perform on the road because of the presence of tyres. They are the main link between a vehicle and the road. They are expected to maintain firm contact with the road. However, there is a limit to their performance. Over a period of time, the tyres lose their capability to function properly as they start becoming old. However, it is important for one to spot when the tyres are going through their final stage. There are many signs which could tell someone if the tyres are in a good condition or not.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 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 arise.WHAT ARE THE DANGERS OF DRIVING ON BALD TYRES?If not check;with the car manufacturer at the correct time, these bald tyres may cause a lot of risksRISK OF HYDROPLANINGHydroplaning is a condition where the cars on wet surfaces lose control. Bald tyres have very little 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 any cost to avoid this condition. Tyres Bracknell;has good quality grooves which expel as much water as possible.HEAT BUILD-UPThere is friction that is created between the tyres and the roads. Too much friction creates heat. It is 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 tyres.BLOWOUTSBald tyres are more prone to causing sudden unexpected blowouts. Treads have a better capability to resist punctures when they are hit by a sharp object or a nail. Driving on bald tyres compromises your safety causing dangerous or sometimes even fatal accidents.C.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 them as they become very unsafe to use. Continental Tyres Wolverhampton is designed considering high safety standards.CRACKSThe 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 integrity.LOW 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 tyres.ALS Tyres is safe, fast, efficient and reliable with long tyre life." ]
