8 behaviors that damage tires the most, don't do it!
Tires, as the most important parts of a car, are crucial to the safe driving and performance of the vehicle. Moreover, as consumables, tires need to be replaced every three to five years. How to make tires more durable has become a topic of concern to car owners.
The following are some driving habits that extremely wear out tires. They not only accelerate tire wear and shorten their service life, but may also threaten driving safety!
01 Steering in situ Novice drivers often make this mistake in narrow roads or when turning around, which will cause additional wear on tires and steering systems. Doing so for a long time will greatly shorten the life of tires. Some car owners even turn the steering wheel in situ after parking the car, which is very wear-prone to tires, and even more likely to wear out tires than daily driving. So car owners should try to avoid this behavior.
02 Rubbing against the curb Rubbing against the curb will cause the sidewalls to be worn at the least, and the sidewalls to be bulged at the worst. Even a tire can be scrapped at once. This way of destroying tires is also the most harmful to tires.
03 Frequent acceleration or deceleration Whether it is a novice or an old driver seeking excitement, it is inevitable to accelerate or decelerate too much in daily driving habits. This driving style will increase the friction between the tire and the ground and accelerate wear. More often, steady driving will cause less damage to the tire.
04 Driving on poor quality roads Although tires are very durable, a bad driving environment is also destructive to tires. Rough roads will cause excessive impact and wear on tires, and even off-road vehicles with AT tires will be damaged. Under potholes, all tires become unresistant.
05 Frequent starting and braking on slopes Tires are easier to drive on flat roads. If you encounter climbing, the test for tires is even greater. If you frequently stop and go on the slope, it will also increase tire friction, put pressure on the braking system, and damage the tires and brake discs.
06 Emergency turns at high speeds Tires are more likely to wear out when driving at high speeds. At this time, sudden sharp turns and sudden braking will consume tires, which will generate lateral friction, accelerate tread wear, and easily cause side slip danger. In addition, we often see scratches left by sudden braking on the road in daily life, which is also a consumption of tire rubber.
07 Tire pressure is too high or too low. Too high or too low pressure will cause uneven wear and may even cause a blowout. Tires have standard air pressures. No matter what the reason is, do not easily adjust the tire pressure.
08 Tires exposed to the sun for a long time are suitable to stay in the shade. Exposure to the sun will increase the temperature. At the least, it will accelerate the aging of the tire rubber surface. Excessive temperature will also increase the risk of tire blowout. As a car owner, you should learn more about tires and check the tire pressure frequently. At the same time, develop good driving habits to make the tire performance more stable and last longer.
