[ "What should you understand about tyre damages?Tyre damage is a condition in which the visible outercover of the tyre has been compromised. Tyre damage does not necessarily meanthat a tyre is in a dangerous situation or cannot be driven on. Still, it doesindicate an instance where a driver must exercise caution when operating thevehicleWhat are examples of tyre damage?Any cut, tear or crack to the outer tread is considered Pirelli Tyres Newport;damage and wear indicators will appear on theinner tread lining once the visible tread depth has been reduced below legallimits. Minor cuts and abrasions can generally be repaired with rubber repairproducts. However, a puncture from a nail or piece of metal requires repair bypatching from the inside of the tyre using special equipment. In cases wheretyre damage is not repairable or where repairs are not possible due toconditions of the tire or suspension components, replacement of the affectedtyre may be necessaryA badly worn tyre should also always be considered tohave tyre damage until proven otherwise. A tyre with less than 1.6mm treaddepth remaining for cars and light trucks 2.75mm for agricultural vehicles maydemonstrate visible wear indicators on the inner lining if damage has occurred.If no other causes can be found for apparent early tyre wear, then it is likelythat the unrepaired condition is due to previous damage, which could stillresult in a blowout while driving at speed. Attention must immediately be paidto the safe operation of the vehicle if any such defect exists. The vehiclemust not be driven an appreciable distance until repairs have been carried outA tyre can also suffer damage if it is over-inflated. Anover-inflated tyre has a very smooth and complex contact area with the road,which lessens heat dissipation and traction, thus increasing the risk ofskidding on wet or icy roads. It also increases bumpiness and rollingresistance, reduces fuel economy and causes premature wear to suspensioncomponents such as shock absorbers, springs and stabilizer bars. For thesereasons, tyre pressures should always be checked regularly once vehicle load isadded (if a load is placed in a trunk, for example)Always consult your car's manual for themanufacturer's recommended tire pressure specifications for your vehicle.Over-inflated tires are generally easy to spot because they bulge outwards,causing the treads to wrinkle or fold, or by pressing on the top of the tyre,it will feel hardAnother sign is if your car's sidewalls arecupped downwards while looking at them from behind so you can see the lightthrough the bottom of the treads along their flankHow do I know if my tyres need replacing?A tyre that has been driven for too long without beingreplaced can burst suddenly when driven at speed, posing a serious hazard,particularly if one encounters road works where loose gravel poses an increasedrisk of puncturing a worn tyre. Steel wire inside some radial tyres can rustand cause internal damage or cause a blowout. A tyre can also lose structuralintegrity due to age and wear along the edges of treads where they interactwith the road. If you believe your vehicle's tyres need replacing, alwaysconsult a professional mechanic who will be able to make an assessment based ontheir knowledge and experience of market conditions and tire availability andadvise accordinglyWhat is tyre dry rot?This condition occurs when the tread rubber hardens dueto prolonged exposure to sunlight while tyres remain mounted on wheels, oftenafter many years of neglect. This makes dry rot visually identifiable by somedegree of whitening in the rubber. However, it is not easy to detect thisbefore purchase, so care must be taken when assessing whether Car;Tyres;Newport is fit forpurpose or may need replacing soonWhy does a tyre have a flat spot when I brake?A flat spot, or "brake skid," is caused by thewheel's rotation coming to a stop while the vehicle continues to move forwardwith momentum. This causes a measurable difference in rotational speed betweenthe front and rear wheels, which results in a vibration that can be feltthrough the steering wheel or seat of one's pants while braking. A certainamount of this is expected due to factors such as uneven brake pad wear,variations in rim alignment (whereby offset wheels may cause more noticeableeffects than others) and simple old age for an older car" ]
