NEW CAR TYRES? HERE IS WHY IT’S TIME TO CHANGE!

car tyres

Tyres are one of the most vital components of your vehicle and require regular maintenance. Your car tyres are the sole point of contact with the road surface. Thus keeping them in good condition is critical. There are various negative environmental and technological elements that may damage your car tyres and their life, and if not treated seriously, can have major consequences for your automobile. 


Here are four warning signals that your automobile needs new tyres before something goes wrong.


Sidewall Cracking


When inspecting your tyres, keep an eye out for any noticeable cracks. Cracks in the tyre's sidewall are an early warning sign of a probable blowout, which is extremely dangerous while travelling at high speeds. Cracks are formed when the chemicals and oils in the tyre rubber deteriorates.


Fortunately, visual inspection of sidewall defects is simple. Look for grooves in the sidewall that are distinct enough to be seen with the naked eye. There is a possibility that your tyre is leaking (or is on its way to bursting). So, if the sidewall fractures appear to be substantial, take your automobile to a repair shop as soon as possible and begin discussing replacement. Visit your nearest Armstrong dealer and buy brand new tyres for a safer and smoother ride.




Vibrating Car


While driving, some vibrations are unavoidable, especially on badly surfaced roads, but if you've been driving for a while, you probably know how much vibration feels normal and how much indicates that something is amiss. The vibration might be caused by a variety of factors, including misaligned or imbalanced tyres, or worn shock absorbers. However, it might also suggest that there is an inherent problem with the tyre itself. You'll find that you're having problems with your tyre even if the vibration isn't the main cause. So, if your car is experiencing shimmy-shimmy vibrations, even if you aren't travelling on terrible roads, take it to the mechanic straight away and get it checked.

Blisters and Bulges on the Tyre


In some cases, the tyre's outer surface will begin to deteriorate. As the tyre deteriorates, bulges or blisters begin to appear. As a result, a bulge or blister may form that spreads beyond the remainder of the surface. This weak region can result in a quick blowout.


Keep an eye out for tyre bulges and blisters. Even the best tyres in UAE can fall victim to this. 




Tread Depth


New tyres have deep tread, which wears away with use and causes the tread depth to diminish. The capacity to evacuate water reduces proportionately as the tread depth lowers. It is not harmful until the tread is almost 1/16th of an inch wide. A lot is also dependent on the weather and the amount of water that the tyres must discharge. Still, it's a good idea to use a depth gauge to verify the tread depth.


Time spent driving


Tyres age and wear out. As a rule of thumb, the manufacturer claims that the rubber life of a tyre is four years from the time you start using them, providing they are stored in a cool and dry environment after production. Examine your invoice history to see when your car's tyres were last changed. Regardless of tread depth, you should replace your tyres every four to five years because environmental variables like as heat can degrade the inner layers of your tyres.


How frequently should you examine your tyres? Your tyres should be checked every four weeks. However, if you're going on a lengthy trip, you should always check your tyres before you go.So now you should now be able to efficiently inspect your vehicle tyres and maintain your car as safely.
