[ "Knowing about some tyre Myths And The Facts Behind ThemYour tyres may not be that technologically sophisticated but they are still probably the most important component of your vehicle. They are what connect your vehicle to the ground and help support it so that it runs smoothly. However, there is a lot of misinformation among people when it comes to tyres. Here is some fact-checking so that you always stay in the lead when it comes to tyres.The PSI value is the right amount of air pressureThe PSI value or the pressure value is mentioned on the sidewall of your Yokohama Tyres Watford. Many believe that it is best to fill the tyres up to this amount of air pressure to ensure the tyres run smoothly. However, this statement is not trueWhatever is mentioned on the sidewall of a tyre indicates the maximum pressure value. In no way does it correspond to the recommended amount. It is just an indication of the maximum limit of air pressure that can be filled in a tyre. Generally, for a car, the inner side of the door is where the recommended tyre pressure value is mentioned for every particular model.Using valve capsValve caps are simple caps that are sometimes added to tyres outside their openings or rims. Many people believe that they are added to make sure that the air does not escape the tyre and deflate it over time.This statement is completely false. The valve caps are put in place not to keep the air inside the tyre from escaping but to make sure that external dirt or any other harmful chemicals or liquids do not get inside the tyre. The air inside the tyre will constantly escape over time anyway which is the reason why tyres have to be checked and refilled for air often.Lower air pressure ensures a better gripThis is a statement sometimes given by even the most seasoned drivers. Many have a firm belief that keeping the air pressure in your tyres lower than the recommended amount is a good option as it will loosen the rubber of the tyre that makes the grooves deeper on its outer layer. This is far from the truth. By keeping the pressure low, you do not have a better grip on the road. Moreover, the tyres are harder to control and steer, which makes for a very unpleasant driving experience. Reduce air pressure during summerMany people come up with highly scientific theories to claim that because air expands when it gets hot, in summers the air pressure of the tyres should be reduced to compensate for the expansion when the tyre comes in contact with the hot roads.This statement is also factually inaccurate. Instead, the tyre heats up if the PSI is reduced. This in turn would cause a tyre to flex and bend from its walls which makes it difficult to control and also makes the vehicle the tyres are used for much more uncomfortable to ride inTread patterns only matter in dry areasLast but not the least, many people believe that although a good tread pattern is effective in dry areas, it does not serve many purposes outside of it. This statement could not be further from the truth.The tread pattern is simply the way the Tyres Watford is designed and it varies greatly based on each model or type of tyre. Additionally, tread patterns are designed to work to discharge water from the tyres surface if it comes in contact with wet roadsNow that some basic tyre myths have been busted you can always double-check to verify how factual statements related to tyres you have known all your life are true. It is the presence of statements like these that just goes to show how important it is to stay informed on your tyres.Contact YE Corner Tyres for all your tyre needs in Watford today." ]
