A well-known fact: if studs fall out of the tires, then it is simply not safe to drive on such “rubber”. Grip with the surface noticeably deteriorates, the trajectory of maneuvers is violated, and the braking distance increases. At the same time, it is possible to deprive the edge of “fangs” in just one season. It is enough to make a few mistakes that can end badly for the driver.
If the tire has lost half of the “thorns”, then it is contraindicated to use it. And losing spikes is easy. The AutoVzglyad portal will tell you how to avoid such a fate.
And first of all, let’s pay attention to frequent slippage, which on asphalt and even on ice can easily turn into the loss of “hooks” for the tire. Wheel slip is certainly not slow, but it certainly leads to the loss of spikes from the rubber layer. It is better to avoid slipping both during acceleration and braking. You need to start smoothly, slowly stick to the surface and slow down – by pressing the brake pedal pointedly. So you can not only save tires, but sometimes also your own life.
In addition, do not turn the steering wheel on a dry surface while stationary. It is still recommended to work with the “steering wheel” on the go, even in the parking lot. It is also important to monitor the pressure in the tires, since a deviation from the norm also threatens with the premature departure of the spikes from the tire.
Separately, you should pay attention to improper wheel balancing, when the tires adhere unevenly to the roadway. With an increased load on one or another rim, the spikes have a chance to deform and then loosen. Especially at high speeds. And this, in addition to everything else, can also turn into a serious accident.
Finally, avoid overheating the “rubber” – do not use it at positive temperatures, but at the same time avoid falling into wells. The composition is simply not designed for a sharp temperature drop and heavy mechanical loads.
