In winter it lies – it descends, in summer it stands – it descends. The correct answer to the riddle is a tire, which, no matter how much you mount and seal, should always be checked. At least once a week, even if there are smart sensors and other cunning inventions of progress. So on a nice day, make time and space to walk around the car with the pump – otherwise “holes” will form at speed, increased fuel consumption and uneven wear of the rubber. Who is to blame and what to do?
In most cases, it is not the tire mechanic who is to blame, and not even the tire, but the nipple. Or rather, a rubber valve, which always suffers from contact with curbs and branches on impassable roads, does not tolerate salt reagent, is poured on the road in winter and is not ready at all, it turns out, for overloading. He filled the trunk with building materials from the heart – spring, a summer house, a gazebo with a porch are waiting – and then change both “nipples” at once. It will blow up, then they will start to miss. Yes, you never know.
In addition, very often the valves are deformed and burst, for example, due to overheating, and, they say, they do not like speed. Especially if the speedometer needle “happens” past the 120 mph mark. But in Russia today there are roads that allow you to “sink”! The right way out is annual diagnostics and replacement, but this approach also offers no guarantees. You can keep reinventing the wheel, but it’s much easier to turn to the experience of comrades on the road – truck and van drivers.
They have known the answer to this question for a long time and do not intend to hide it from anyone: all trucks have iron valves – much stronger, more durable and more durable. Put and wind hundreds of thousands under a heavy load – there is no demolition. High-quality metal valves have also appeared for cars: they are more expensive than classic rubber valves, but also last many times longer.
Incidentally, the price must also include mounting / dismounting, which is inextricably linked to mounting tires. And this fact already changes the “calico”: an unforeseen arrival in the workshop to replace the “floating” rubber nipple will not at all take out an extra 2000-3000 “wooden” from the wallet, and with iron such expenses are not expected. The stored nerve cells are a bonus.
The only difference in operation is that the iron valve should be lubricated regularly, at least once a season, so that it can be easily disassembled and do not cause any problems. By the way, Mr. Ford said that 80% of the look of the car is determined by the wheels: metal valves are not only very reliable, but also beautiful!
