Get your car repaired properly & keep in good condition

If your car tyres are in poor condition then you can find yourself on the side of the road. You can face a sudden blowout and end up with a dangerous accident. So you should always check the tyres of your car so that it can protect you and your family. Keep your tyres well maintained and in good condition, before you ride and drive the car do not forget to check the inflation and other minute traits of tyre to keep yourself protected on road.

In fact, professionals say that you can get as much as 50 percent more life out of your tyres if you maintain them as it should be.

Check if they are properly inflated

It’s very important to ensure your tyres are well inflated. If they are over-inflated, they generate excess heat as they move over the street. This can create a flat tyre or weaken the tyres, making them more prone to being punctured.

Similarly if your tyres are under-inflated, they’ll take additional wear and tear. The center tread will wear out more rapidly than that on tyres that are fully inflated, thus you’ll have to change them earlier than normal. Some people accept it as true that an overinflated tyre rolls more effortlessly, so increasing your gas mileage.

On the other hand, while you may see a slight fuel economy increase, the more damage to your tyres and the chance of having a flat tyre more than offset what little gain you might get.

Importance of properly checking their inflation

Remember that you can’t tell if your tyre is under-inflated or over-inflated by just looking at it. You need to use a small tyre pressure gauge to appropriately check the pressure. You may find the air pumps at most gas stations may be imperfectly calibrated. You shouldn’t trust them to provide you a true reading. You also need to know what the true pressure for your car is. You can generally find this information in either your car’s owner’s handbook or on the tyre sticker found on the motorist’s side door.

When should you check your tyres?

If you check your tyre’s air pressure after you’ve driven on them, you won’t get an accurate reading. When the air inside the tyres is heated from being driven on, it swells. This, in order, increases the tyre pressure and results in an improper reading. The best time to check the pressure is when the tyre is cold or when it has been driven less than a mile.

Be sure to have your wheels aligned

One more issue that can damage your tyres is having the wheels out of position. If you have a new tyre put on, be sure to also have your wheel alignment tested and attuned if necessary. This will insure the tyre treads wear out uniformly. Or else, one part of the tyre will become weaker than the rest and can more simply be damaged. Tyres also need to be rotated often to prevent this type of irregular wear.
