Car tire care, safety protection for every journey

Understand and master the parameters on tires

It is a series of numbers and small symbols on the sidewall of the tire that help users know the sidewall width (mm); the percentage of the sidewall height compared to the width; the rim diameter; the ply structure; the speed limit index and the load limit.

Understanding and mastering the parameters on tires helps to properly use the features and resistance of the tires as well as maintain/replace tires in a timely manner.

Maintain optimal tire pressure

Tire pressure is a particularly important factor. If the pressure is incorrect, it will not only reduce tire life, increase fuel consumption, but also affect the safety of the vehicle user.

The parameters are printed on the sidewall of the tire.

In fact, tires typically leak 1 psi of pressure per month, and tire pressure gauges can be inaccurate. Therefore, to ensure that pressure is maintained at the optimal level, automotive experts recommend that users check regularly, especially in extreme weather conditions such as hot, rainy or cold.

In addition, check periodically at least once a month when the tire is in a "cold" state or when the vehicle has stopped for about 3 hours. It is best for users to equip themselves with a quality tire gauge and provide the correct pressure according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

Do not leave your car in one place for long.

Many people who do not need to use the car regularly often leave the car idle for a long time. However, this is not a good habit. Because when the car is not moving, the tire part that is in direct contact with the ground must bear the weight of the car for a long time. This can cause wear and tear, reduce the quality compared to the original design, directly damage the tire when used again.

Regular tire rotation

Tires wear out over time. Tires in different positions have different levels of wear due to different forces and rotation frequencies. Therefore, usually after about 8,000 - 10,000 km, users should rotate their tires to achieve the necessary balance and stability. This will contribute positively to ensuring safety, increasing tire life and helping to save fuel for the vehicle.

Automotive experts recommend that users should regularly check, maintain, rotate tires and balance their wheels to ensure safety on every journey.

Wheel balancing

There are both objective and subjective reasons that cause the wheel alignment to deviate from the manufacturer's standards. After a period of use, the suspension and steering system's links will wear out or become loose, especially if the vehicle is often driven on bad terrain, mountainous roads, and gravel. Therefore, regularly checking, adjusting and balancing the wheels helps reduce vehicle vibration and noise, increase tire life, and eliminate steering deviation.

Choose genuine tires to protect your journey

Currently, many people still do not have enough information and proper attention to the origin of tires before deciding to buy. They can choose tires that are widely sold on the market instead of genuine tires distributed and warranted by a distributor in Vietnam. These two types of tires may be similar in shape, structure, and features, but there are important differences in suitability, quality, distributor, warranty policy - after-sales service specifically for customers in Vietnam.
