[ "Every motorist should know about their car tyres in detail. Here's a suitable guideYour car tyres are the most crucial element in determining your vehicle'sperformance. They are the only contact patch with the road, so they havea significant impact on how your car handles and feelsRight TyreYour tyre is not just an inflated piece of rubber; it hasto contain many layers that work together to provide you with safe, predictablehandling and superior performance under all driving conditions. The treadpattern creates 'traction,' which pushes against the road's surface to generategrip for accelerating, cornering, braking, and stopping. In short, without goodtraction, it would be tough to control your car! In wet weather or snow/ice,there needs to be enough traction on the ground that will help prevent thevehicle from sliding but not enough to make the car handle badlyRight PressureIf your tyres are under-inflated, you'll find it harderto accelerate, corner and brake while making steering more difficult.Under-inflation also increases wear on tyre components resulting in shortertyre life. You will need to replace them more often than they should bereplaced - sometimes every 10,000 kilometers if you don't inflate your tyresproperly. Over-inflation can cause sidewall damage, which happens when there istoo much pressure in the tire, creating a stiffer ride that might reducemileage or, worse still, lead to failure of critical parts inside the tire orfailure of the tyre itselfRight LoadThe correct load can make your tyres last longer, giveyou better mileage and help to maintain the tyre pressure at the recommendedlevels. If your tyre is overloaded, it will wear out prematurely, so alwaysensure that you check the load index on both front and rear axles beforerefilling your tyres. Overloading will increase rolling resistance and reducegrip, hence making it difficult to drive or control the car in slipperyconditions. It would be best if you filled up for winter 6-8 weeks beforetemperatures drop below six C (43F). This way, your tyre will be ready whencold weather comes alongHOW TO CARE FOR YOUR TYRES?There are simple steps you can take to get more milesfrom your tyresCheck tyre pressure every month. It isrecommended that you have the air pressure checked when your tyres are cold -meaning that you have not driven more than 20km/12 miles after a journey of atleast five km/3 miles to ensure an accurate reading by qualified servicepersonal. Just look for the "recommended tyre pressure" sticker onthe edge of the driver's door or side panel- it shows what each of your tyresshould be inflated to, so it can't get much easier than this!;Rotate and align your tyres yearly to avoiduneven wear-reducing premature tyre replacement and increasing road safety andcomfort. You can't do this yourself as specialist equipment and training areneeded but save up and take your car to a qualified service centre, and theywill do the work for youCheck your tyre treads depth regularly and, ifrequired, have they refilled with new rubber- usually every 10,000km/6,000miles or as per the manufacturer's recommendations. You can't go wrong if youchoose professional service at your local tire dealer as they will always usethe right combination of expertise and equipment to assess your Tyres Leek needs accuratelyNever ignore tyre noise, as this is one of thefirst signs that it may be time for a replacement. Suppose you hear a thumpingsound when going over bumps. In that case, it could be a torn inner liner whichis a serious matter, especially if it's accompanied by a vibration in the steeringwheel or shaking on the road when cornering.Regularly check wheel nuts - theconnection between your car and tyre- to make sure they are correctlytightened. If you notice movement in them, there are issues with wheel bearingsor brakes- both of which need professional attentionDon't leave your car idle- it's terrible for theenvironment and will cause damage to tyres as they heat up when not moving.Always drive at least five km/3 miles every month, even down the road to workor the supermarket. This way, you'll prevent pressure loss, reduce regular tyrewear and prolong their life expectancyIf you want your car to handle better, don'tforget about regular wheel alignment that balances forces acting on thesteering system, which can be done once a year or after 30,000km/18,000 miles,whichever comes first for most car models. Good balance reduces tyre wearand improves safety by keeping your wheels within specification during fastcornering manoeuvres leading to more responsive handling and better stability.It is worth noting that most European cars need an alignment after two years or24,000 miles, whichever comes first.Check therubber around windscreen wipers for wear and tear, as this could be a sign ofsuspension issues you certainly dont want, especially if driving in colderclimates where potholes are more prevalent." ]
