Very often, with the onset of the warm season, car owners begin to relax, while increasing the speed of movement, forgetting about the operational nuances inherent in driving on summer tires. But in vain, because the slightest inattention can lead not only to additional costs for the driver, but also to an accident. Why, explains the portal “AvtoVzglyad”.
But first, maybe we’ll talk about the typical tape storage errors. Indeed, most often tires are damaged precisely “thanks to” the wrong actions of the car owners themselves. Many of them are used to stacking tires on top of each other, which is fundamentally wrong, because under the weight of the cylinders located under them, they deform quite quickly. The rubber layer is covered with cracks and breaks. And if the tires already had defects, the destruction process under load will accelerate significantly.
The only correct way to store tires is upright. In addition, the surface must be flat and the room dry. Another thing is if you have a set of wheels with tires and rims. Then they need to be hung or laid horizontally, but each edge separately. This is the only way to fully insure against possible damage to the “rubber”.
But even on the road, car owners often make mistakes that lead to premature wear of summer tires. For example, it is easier than ever to damage the side of the tread by parking close to the curb and rubbing the tire on the curb. And the sidewall immediately breaks from mechanical influences, for example, when driving at high speed on the side of the road or making a sharp turn on a gravel road. In addition, with the snow, as we know, the roads in Russia during the warm period were full of potholes and potholes. We know, but for some reason we don’t remember.
Sharp starts and braking also significantly shorten roller life. The rubber layer wears off, flaws and micro-scratches appear, which at some point can easily turn into a cut. “Dead” tires and skidding, so it is highly undesirable to disturb the car from the trajectory.
In addition, tires deteriorate quickly if they are not cleaned. Yes, apparently harmless pollution has a major influence on the aging of the surface of the rubber compound. In addition, a tread clogged with debris and dirt tends to stretch the grooves, directly affecting safety and performance.
No less detrimental effects are exerted by small pebbles that get stuck in the pores of the “rubber”, which also leads to the destruction of the slats. Therefore, do not be lazy – remove foreign objects and layers of mud from the “slippers” of your “horse”. The fact remains: you need to watch and care for the wheels no less than the car itself.
