1. Pay more attention to the tire pressure

With the arrival of summer, as the temperature rises, the number of puncture accidents increases. When driving, especially when you go out of the road, don't forget to bring a tire pressure gauge with you so that you can check the pressure of your tires at any time.

It's a good idea to check the pressure of all tires at least once a month, including the spare tire.

If the air pressure decreases too quickly every time you hit the climate, you can check whether the tire is pinned, whether the valve rubber is aged, cracked, etc., if you find these conditions, you should go to a professional repair shop in time to deal with them.

 

2. When the tire is worn to the wear mark, it needs to be replaced

At this time, the drainage performance of the tire is greatly reduced, which will seriously affect the wet grip performance. In addition, if the wear is uneven, it may be due to unbalanced wheel alignment, which not only shortens the tire life, but also affects the handling of the vehicle. It must be adjusted or replaced immediately.

 

3. Prevent tires from being corroded

Tires are rubber products, so try to avoid contact with chemicals such as oil and acids. Because these items can cause problems such as tire corrosion, deformation, and softening.

On those days when the temperature rises, it is best to park the vehicle in the shade to avoid direct sunlight and premature tire aging.

 

4. Try to avoid hitting hard objects

When a tire hits a pothole or a road tooth, it will squeeze and deform the tire, causing the tire to bulge. In severe cases, the sidewall of the tire may rupture or deflate. Therefore, try to avoid potholes on the road carefully when driving, and slow down to pass slowly when you can't get around.
