Keeping your tyres in good condition is an essential aspect of car maintenance, not only because it is extremely important for our safety on the roads, a set of good tyres also helps with the ride quality of our car.While no tyre will last forever, it is still possible to extend the life of existing tyres with a few simple steps.Since we at Shriram Automall India Limited (SAMIL) know how costly are the expenses associated with replacing a vehicle’s tyre, by adhering to a regular tire maintenance routine, you can save money and keep you, your passengers and other drivers safe on the roads:
·
Tyre pressure
It is important to get the tyre
pressure checked weekly. It is essential to maintain tyre pressure at the level
recommended by the manufacturer. Correct tyre pressure lowers the risk of
losing control of the car and prevents uneven wear that might result from under
inflation or over inflation.
·
Tread depth
The depth of the tread should be around 1.6mm. Replace the tyres if its low. This is essential for stable cornering, braking and high speed driving. Rough braking takes away the life of the car tyre and causes early wear and tear. It is important to drive at a constant pace and avoid applying frequent brakes. If you drive rashly and brake regularly it leads to tyre skidding resulting in the tyre losing its tread much quicker.
