When to change your tyres?

by Jason Samson Leckhampton tyres and MOT

If you are planning to buy new tyres, you must inspect your tyres before doing so just to check whether or not you need new tyres. If your tyre is seriously damaged, then buying new tyres is not a bad idea. But if they can be repaired, giving them a good service can be a better idea.

When to change tyres is not a tricky question but is one of the most frequently asked questions. Tyres are indeed expensive to replace frequently which is why motorists invest in good quality tyres that will perform perfectly for a long time. But there is a condition for your tyres to deliver great performance- Tyre maintenance. It is one of the significant factors that affect the lifespan and functionality of your Tyres Cheltenham.

The ideal time to replace car tyres varies depending on the user, the environment, driving habits, road conditions, and, of course, tyre wear. But how can you tell when it's time to replace your tyres?

Certain aspects help you recognize when and when not to replace your tyres -

Treadwear - Tread is something that is responsible for creating the link between the road and the vehicle. The small patch that touches the road helps in maintaining the grip and traction which is required to producing motion. The tyre tread wears out every time you drive and it is a normal phenomenon. Tyres tend to wear out faster and unevenly if you drive with inappropriate tyre type, on rough road conditions, if your tyres are not aligned and balanced, and if the driving style is fast. There can many other reasons why your tyres wear out prematurely. But if the tread depth goes below 1.6 mm, then you must replace your tyres immediately. To improve the health and life of your tyres, you must clean and maintain the tread of your tyres. And using the most suitable tyre will help you extend the life of your tyres.

Hard or cracked tyre surface- The surface of the tyre is made with rubber and different tyre types are manufactured with distinct rubber types, polyesters and chemicals. Protecting your tyres from getting damaged is one of the most important factors in increasing the life of your tyres. If you drive fast and your tyres are poorly maintained, they will start getting damaged- they will have cuts, bulges, the rubber will get hard and they will start making noise. If you notice any of these symptoms immediately take your vehicle to the garage and get your tyres serviced. With poor tyres, you will risk your safety while driving.

Damage Sidewall- Radial tyres account for more than 80% of passenger car tyres, and the sidewall integrity is critical for this type of tyre. Bad roads and unexpected potholes can cause sidewall damage, which might result in bubbles or cracks. While tyre repair companies may offer side-wall patches to reinforce the damaged area, you should be aware that the repair is not guaranteed. Changing the tyres is a safer option.

Age of the tyre- Although it is something which is hard to predict with time experts have realized your driving style denotes the age of your tyres. If you have poor and extremely fast driving, your tyres are getting damaged every time you drive. It is not false to say that you will need to change your tyres frequently with such a driving style. The rubber in tyres begins to tighten with time. It loses functionality when it contracts due to its inability to flex and grasp the road surface.

For maintaining tyres in good status, you must know while selecting the most suitable Michelin Tyres Cheltenham, you also need to maintain them properly.
