When it comes time to change tires

It would seem, only recently acquired a brand new, just off the assembly line car. But we've been, what a ride all the relatives, but a couple of times to go with friends to fish. Nevertheless, you have already quietly become the happy owner of a car with mileage, hinted that it was time to pass inspection and change the tire. |

The value of quality tires is difficult to overestimate. After all, they should not just to rotate under the belly of the car, but also carry a huge load, keep the direction, to mitigate the unevenness of the road, put out the noise - and all this for a long time. In addition, the tire must meet the peculiarities of driving a particular person. It often happens that the wheel is still fully can be used as a residual tread depth is large enough, but it does not suit the specific driver, because the properties still deteriorated. If you encounter such a situation, try to advertise and sell the old set. And take a new one.

However, a novice driver may not always realize that it was time to change the tire. Change of summer tires for winter and vice-versa - this is obvious and does not cause special difficulties. And when I'm worn out tire, and how, in fact, determine that it is already worn out? Traditionally this is done by examining the tread. In the summer of the residual depth for passenger cars must not be less than 1.6 mm in the winter - no less than 4. Tread depth can be identified by special markings, available in some brands, or using the normal range. Theoretically, the tire shall be not less than five years, but begin to check the status of the tread is better in advance, about three years after the start of operation. The fact that the domestic rubber "works" substantially less than the import.

In addition to the tread wear, there are other factors, noting that the tire should be changed. First of all, it punctures and cuts, violate driving performance cars, as well as areas of high uneven wear. Theoretically, we could fix the tire, turning in a special center. It's cheaper than taking a new, but not always possible.
