Some important information about tires
Some important information about tires One of the important parts of your car is the wheel. Different types of materials are used to make the wheel. Such as textile, rubber, steel, etc. The worse your car's tires get, the more dangerous the risk will be for you. One of the most important reasons for car accidents is defective wheels or old wheels.
1- How to understand how old a car's tire is❓
There are some numbers on the car's wheels that you can see by looking at them, you can understand how long ago the wheel was made. If the wheel has 26 written on it followed by 15, then it means that the wheel was made in the 26th week of 2015, that is, in July. The last three numbers on the wheel indicate the year and month. For example, if a wheel has such writing on it, XXX YYY ZZZ 269, then it means that it indicates the 26th week and the next number indicates the 9th year. It is best to use a wheel for a maximum of 10 years.
2- How dangerous are old tires? Your car runs on four wheels. Car parts, passengers, goods, etc., all weigh on the wheels. And due to the wear and tear of these wheels, terrible accidents can occur. Accidents can even lead to death!
3- Possibility of explosion‼ If the tires are old, the chances of explosion are very high compared to new tires. Because old tires cannot hold air inside. They cannot take much pressure. If the tires are too old, you should pay attention to the tires regularly. Also, you should be very careful while inflating the tires. Because, tires burst due to excessive pressure. Tires should always be maintained at the prescribed pressure in the car. It is written on the front door of your car, the appropriate tire pressure for your car. Keep the tire pressure accordingly. You can also have a tire pressure monitoring system in the car. This is a very necessary thing. Through this, you can see the live tire pressure. Because, the tire pressure of the car is not always the same.
4- Decreased rigidity‼ The grooves that appear on the surface of new tires merge as the tire gets old. And these hairy parts help hold the tire to the road and create friction with the road. These are called grip. If this grip gets bad, then the friction force of the car decreases. Due to which, when braking, there is a possibility of skidding the car. Which is very dangerous and causes accidents.
5- Puncture‼ When the tire wears out, it becomes very thin. That is, the thickness of the tire decreases. Then the possibility of tire puncture is high. Moreover, if the tire is worn out a lot, there is a possibility of puncture even if the car wheel falls into a big hole! And any fine object lying on the road, such as broken glass pieces or a pin, can easily pierce it. In addition, the air easily comes out of old tires, which results in more tire punctures. And getting a tire punctured like this on the highway is very dangerous. If a puncture occurs while the car is speeding on the highway, there is a high possibility of the car going out of control and causing an accident!
6- Weakening the braking system‼ All types of cars are usually very heavy and the entire weight of the car is on the wheels. The part of the tire that is on the road surface is called the wide strap. When this strap is reduced, the condition of the car's tires deteriorates. And in this situation, the car's braking becomes poor. And if the car's braking system is not good, then an accident can happen at any time!
