CAR TYRE LIFE AND MAINTENANCE

The life of a car tyre varies depending on the size and kind of vehicle. Small hatchback tyres have an average lifespan of 40,000 km, with some exceeding 50,000 km. SUV tyres have a range of roughly 60,000 kilometres. Some costly automobiles with low-profile tyres only get approximately 30,000 kilometres out of them. The tyre's life is also affected by the compound chosen; softer tyres provide more grip but last less. Harder tyres have a longer lifespan but may be less grippy.

However, these values might fluctuate greatly based on driving conditions and vehicle maintenance. Driving on terrible roads, or driving quickly and braking hard, can shorten tyre life by nearly half. If your vehicle has an alignment or suspension issue, your tyres will suffer as well. And finally, there's tyre pressure: always keep it at the specified pressure and check it every two weeks.

TYRE TYPES - TUBELESS V/S TUBE

Tubeless tyres have no inner tube between the tyre and the rim. That means the air inside is kept directly between the tyre and the rim. A tube-type tyre, on the other hand, has an inflated tube inside it that retains the air in. When deciding between the two, tubeless should always be preferred. Their key benefit is that they lose air slowly, allowing you to travel for several kilometres after a puncture before the tyre falls flat. Furthermore, rather than needing to remove the entire tyre, this puncture may be readily fixed by merely stopping the leak.

TYRE SIZE

When purchasing new tyres, it is best to keep to the size advised by the automobile manufacturer. Typically, this is the size offered on the most expensive variation of the automobile model you own. However, if you prefer a larger size, don't go over the limit because a larger tyre can impair your car's odometer readings as well as its handling. For each increase in tyre width size, always lower the tyre profile size.

Thicker tyres are better on terrible roads, but they provide poor handling since they have more flex and make the automobile less sure-footed. Low-profile tyres are excellent for handling and precise control, but they can be difficult on the vehicle's suspension.

AGE OF TYRES

Car tyres are constructed of rubber, which deteriorates with time, especially in hot temperatures. When looking for radials, it is critical to check the manufacturing date and follow a letter sequence beginning with DOT, which indicates the week and year it was created.

SPARE TYRE

Do not disregard the spare tyre. If you've already used it, buy another one to store in the spot designated for it. You never know when it will come in handy and help you out of a jam. Also, as you're filling your tyres, make it a practice to check whether the spare tyre has enough air.

TIMELY REPLACEMENT 

It is not necessary to be an experienced vehicle technician to be safe. Take the time to inspect all five tyres, including the spare. Do they appear to be worn or damaged? Will they pass the coin toss? Insert a penny into the tread of the tyre, preferably in the middle. If its head is not partially obscured by the tyre, the tyre must be replaced immediately.
