Tires from the Middle Kingdom are nowadays a forced choice for domestic car owners, as the usual tires for many standard sizes are now no longer available. However, many Chinese tires are far from not only ideal, but also of very modest requirements. However, some unpleasant aspects of their operation are quite easy to solve yourself. How, says the portal “AvtoVzglyad”.
Russian drivers have lived through different times: excitement, stagnation and shortages. A belt that creaks as it tightens the last hole will no longer surprise anyone. But during all crises, the cars continued to run, even if they had to make repairs themselves and adapt the existing parts to their needs. So nothing new has happened: the harder it is to survive, the more sophisticated and reckless the adaptation.
Chinese tires, like Chinese cars, are very different; they should not be placed in the same category. For a lot of money you can buy a very high-quality product that is in no way inferior to the “old” brands. All that remains is to find this big money. Those who want to save money and are unwilling to spend money must choose, often sacrificing one or more previously highly desired features. With tapes this is usually the silence of the tape.
Yes, cheap “Chinese” cars make noise like a steam locomotive, and taking into account the standard sound insulation of the car, this hum even penetrates into the cabin of the Range Rover. What must we do? The correct answer is sound insulation. Moreover, both the arches and, pay attention, the tires! On the first point everything is clear and no explanation is needed, but the second point is still new for Russia. Although there is nothing complicated about it: at a gas station they charge about 2,500 rubles for such a procedure, but you can do it yourself and save a little. That’s what we will do.
So you need sound insulation material, which you can buy at any car market, special glue – in the same place, and in fact a few hours of measured garage evening. There are tons of instructions on the Internet, and the procedure itself does not require much brainpower: just grab it and stick it on. But let’s talk about two aspects.
Firstly, you definitely need a roller to thoroughly roll the material on the inside of the tire, and secondly, you need to force yourself to be generous with a special glue that will reliably hold our adjustment. After all, when the Shumka flies away, the wheel is hit mercilessly.
But the result is worth it: even a cheap Chinese tire begins to drive like a respectable “European”, and the comfort in the cabin can already be expressed in words – it becomes much quieter. In short, it is not without reason that experienced drivers spend time and money on this procedure.
