Cleaning our car tires is also worth a look, as it contributes to their good health and longer life.

The grooves in the tires provide traction and help evacuate accumulated water.

The good condition of the tires of our car contributes to the safety of drivers at any time of the road.

At Bridgestone, we make sure that tires are in the right condition so that they last a long time and contribute to the safety of drivers at every moment of the road. When we clean our cars many times, we only care about the bodywork looking clean and shiny, and we forget that the tires are shiny too. What’s the point of washing car tires if they are probably the most dirty? Well, the answer is: more than expected. Below, we’ll explain why it’s important to pay attention to your tires and share four tips on how to get your tires professionally cleaned.

Why is it important to wash car tires?

Tire cleaning has not only an aesthetic purpose, but more importantly, a practical one. Tires have a series of grooves along them called treads and two of their main jobs are to provide traction and to drain water that has accumulated between them and the surface to eliminate a phenomenon commonly referred to as “hydroplaning”.

If the grooves in the tires become filled with debris and other materials such as dirt, the surface will become completely smooth and they will lose traction. hence safety is at stake. That’s why the brand advises you to follow these washing tips to improve the condition of your tires:

1. Tires must be completely cold.

Brakes store a lot of heat, which is eventually transferred to the tires. This heat is responsible for the premature evaporation of water, soap and other cleaning products. Therefore, for best results, it is important to clean the wheels when they are completely cool.

2. A brush for the rim and one for the tire.

The most effective way to wash tires has been, is and will be a bucket of plenty of soapy water. However, a very common mistake is that we use the same brush for tires and rims. It is recommended that everyone have their own bucket and their own cleaning tool, as they do not get dirty in the same way.

3. Don’t Skip the Hard Sections

Ideally, each tire should be taken apart from the car to wash them one by one to get a complete clean, mainly on all-terrain tires such as Destination Firestone X/T. However, you don’t always have the time or space to do this, so we recommend using a toothbrush so that you can get to the most difficult places, especially the ones inside and those hidden in the bolts.

4. Cleaning products are your best ally

There are different types of tire cleaners on the market today, all at very affordable prices. In addition, there are products that are used to rinse wheels, others to remove stubborn stains, and some leave a very effective protective film. We also recommend that you avoid using products made for other purposes, such as oven cleaner or bleach, as their excessive acidity can damage the aluminum surface of the ring and cause stains or loss of luster.

With these tips in mind, we aim to emphasize our Commitment to Bridgestone E3consisting of 8 meanings starting with the letter “E” in English (Energy, Ecology, Efficiency, Savings, Emotions, Ease, Empowerment) that the company undertakes to create and provide together with society, its partners and customers, to support the building of a sustainable society.
