Tire maintenance safety knowledge

Nov 20,2024

On a daily basis, we haven't taken care of the tires since they were loaded on the car. Occasionally during vehicle maintenance. We often take good care of the vehicles in the process of using them. In fact, the tires also need to be maintained. Because tires are related to the driving safety of vehicles and are closely related to our health. But how do we maintain it? Today I will give you a few points so that you can be more in place in the maintenance process.

  Methods/Steps

1. Always check the tire pressure. The inflation pressure of tires must be inflated according to the national standards for different types and specifications of tires. According to the tire matching vehicle, it can be inflated according to the air pressure of the front and rear wheels pushed by the automobile manufacturer after negotiation with the tire manufacturer.

For new tires, the size will change (expand) after a period of use, and the corresponding internal pressure will be reduced. When we find that the tires are flat and the air pressure is insufficient, we must increase the air pressure to reduce the damage to the tires caused by low air pressure. (Note: After each inflation of the tire, use soapy water to check whether the valve is leaking, and tighten the valve cover to avoid useless work. At the same time, the spare tire of the vehicle should be kept available at all times.)

2. Do not overload. For tires under standard air pressure, if the load is too high, it is similar to low air pressure, so failures that may occur at low air pressure will also occur at high load. Increase the load correspondingly increase the air pressure, and at the same time reduce the driving speed, otherwise it will be very dangerous.

Excessive load is not only easy to cause abnormal tire wear, seriously affect the life of the tire, but also easy to cause safety accidents, so we must pay special attention to strictly follow the vehicle configuration.

3. Use speed. The faster the driving speed at high speed, the more likely the tire will slip, the heat generation will increase, and the service life of the tire will be shortened; secondly, the heat will increase, if the heat dissipation effect is not good, it is prone to failure; thirdly, because the speed is too fast, It will often brake excessively, which will consume a lot of tires, which is not conducive to long-term use of tires. Therefore, we must try our best to control the speed of the vehicle, do not exceed the speed limit of the tire, and reduce safety hazards.

4. The tires should be transposed. As the general front wheel is affected by the brake device, it is easy to produce eccentric wear. The rear wheel is under heavy load, especially when it is a driving wheel, the degree of wear is even greater. Therefore, it is very important to exchange tire positions in a timely manner. It can reduce the eccentric wear and wear to a small extent, so as to give full play to the effectiveness of each tire and extend the service life of the tire. Timely transposition of tires can also find problems with the inclination of the vehicle as early as possible.

5. Pay attention to the tire inflation steps. Tire inflation should be divided into two steps, first fill a small amount of air, make sure that the tire has been correctly installed on the rim and then continue to inflate to the standard pressure. The rim line on the sidewall should be completely exposed outside the rim.

6. It is also very important to drive safely. The tires cannot deflate when the air pressure rises after driving at high speed; try to avoid sudden start, sudden braking, sharp turns; prevent overloading and speeding; in special weather or environments (such as rain, fog, snow, mud, small roads, etc.) Should slow down and drive carefully; for poor roads, try to avoid severe impact on tires; slow down when encountering curves; maintain a proper distance during driving; check tires frequently, maintenance, transposition, repair, etc.; the repaired tires are prohibited from being installed on the front wheels; the tires must be replaced when they are worn to the wear mark; the tires should be replaced immediately if they are found to be faulty, etc. Daily do these not only have certain benefits for tires, but more importantly, there is a guarantee for our personal health. So dear friends, pay more attention.
