[ "Vital things to understand when buying new tyresWhile you buy a new car, you find every component of the car in perfect condition and do not think much about buying a new component. But over time, the component of your car needs repair and replacement and you have to learn new things about your car and its components.For example, if we talk about your Boto Tyres, damaged tyres need a replacement and you have to buy appropriate tyres soon because of the risk of accidents and other issues. But, you cannot buy your tyres by just going to the market and making a deal.While you decide on buying new tyres, you need to consider three basic requirements: tyre size, speed rating and load index.If you do it carefully, you will choose the correct tyres in terms of quality, performance and durability.Where can you find this information?This information is easy to obtain because you can refer to your vehicle documentation for necessary information and recommendations.Besides the users manual, you can find the information inside the drivers door and inside the fuel flap.What may you expect in the vehicle documentation?Your users manual and the sidewall of your tyres have coded information that is enough to tell you almost about your new tyres.The alphabets and numbers printed on the tyres sidewall tell you about the following essential things.The width of the tyreHeight of the sidewallRadial constructionDiameter of rimLoad indexSpeed ratingSuitability for mud and snow conditionsDate of manufactureYour users manual tells you about the recommended tyre size for your vehicle. You have to consider the compatibility factor in any condition.Choosing correct tyre sizeWhen you are looking for the correct tyre size, you have to consider that your new tyres should be of the same size, load index, and speed rating. Never choose a tyre that has a smaller size or lower load capacity.You have to be extra careful while you choose the tyre size because your new tyres should be perfectly compatible with your vehicle.If the size of your wheel and tyres do not match with each other, you will have a huge difference in speedometer readings as well as ride height. Moreover, there are some legal requirements that you should follow while you are planning to switch to different tyre sizes. For example, the internal construction for tyres should either be radial or bias-ply.Mixing the tyre constructions in the vehicles is illegal as well as unsafe. The only condition in which you use different construction is using a spare tyre in an emergency.Do you want to replace just one or two tyres?If you wish to replace fewer than four tyres, your decision would not be effective for the performance of your tyres and wheels. It is the best approach if you replace all your four tyres.However, it is not impossible if you have made a plan to change just one of two tyres. But, you have to follow some guidelines.If you are buying just one of two tyres, make sure they are just the same as the old tyres in terms of size, load index and speed ratings.If you choose to buy two tyres, fit them to the rear axle because new tyres are going to perform greatly on the wet roads. We would not advise you to change only a single tyre. It puts excessive load on the tread pattern and affects the suspension system of the vehicle.We hope you will like this tyre size guide and you will choose the correct tyres for your vehicle." ]
