The Essential Tyre Care Guide

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.

·         Tyre rotation

Tyres are often moved from one position on the car to another to ensure even wear and tear. Front tyres carry more of the car's weight and tend to wear out at about twice the rate of rear tyres, so rotating the tyres for every 8,000 to 10,000 kms can extend their life. There are four common types of tyre rotation:

Ø  Straight rotation

Ø  Cross Rotation

Ø  5 tyre rotation

Ø  4 Wheel drive

·         Wheel Alignment

Wheel Alignment is the process of properly aligning the wheels and axles. Wheel balancing balances the wheel and the tyres. It ensures that your car handles at its optimum level, increasing safety as well as protecting premature wear of tyres and saving fuel.

However, there comes a time when tyres need to be replaced. This depends on various factors, including kilometres driven and driving style, but also climate and storage. It is essential to check your tyres on a regular basis and replace them when as and when required.
