How To Prolong The Service Life Of Tires?

Although tire aging is an unsolvable problem, we can still extend the life of tires as much as possible through good vehicle habits.

Gentle driving

Gentle driving is the most direct and effective way to save tires. If you frequently use floor oil and heavy-duty brakes, always "split" on the ramp...the life of the tire must not belong.

Not overloaded

When the vehicle is overloaded, the pressure on the tires will increase. If the tires are overloaded for a long time, their life will inevitably be shortened. According to investigations, tires working under 120% load for a long time will reduce their lifespan by 30%.

In family cars, although overloading is common, most of them are short distances to make a living. In addition, human weight is limited, so the impact on tires is not so great. Of course, we still have to reiterate that overloading is illegal!

But trucks are different. Since truck overload is calculated in tons, the overload phenomenon is basically normal, so the service life of truck tires is generally shorter. If a truck driver neglects to replace tires in order to save costs and is overloaded with profits when pulling goods, it is like a time bomb, and something will happen sooner or later!

Pay attention to tire pressure

It is also a good habit to always pay attention to the tire pressure of the vehicle. Many people reduce tire pressure when participating in track competitions to improve tire grip. However, low tire pressure will increase the burden on the sidewalls and accelerate the aging of the tire inner layer.

Of course, the tire pressure is too high. High tire pressure will reduce car tire elasticity, which not only reduces tire life but also affects driving quality and suspension life due to reduced shock absorption when driving through potholes or speed bumps.

Regularly check the four-wheel alignment

As the number of kilometers traveled by a vehicle gradually increases, its suspension geometry will change more or less.

If you usually drive a lot of bad roads, or the wheels have collided, the four-wheel alignment value must be far from the original state, and the tires will wear out over time. Therefore, regular inspection of the four-wheel alignment of the wheels can stop the damage in time when the eccentric wear of the tires is not serious.
