Many of us drive cars every day and usually do not perform the necessary checks on the vital tires of our vehicles. In order to make the necessary checks, we need to know some information about the tires. When many of us are buying tires, when we are asked about the dimensions, we read and say the ones on our old tires. But do we know what these numbers on the tires mean? Tires have completed their service life within 4 years from the year of their stamping on their sidewalls: tires that have expired have a higher risk of explosion and can cause serious accidents. That's why we need to check and know the expiration times of the tires we use. It is very easy to find the expiration date on a tire. If you check the sidewall of the tire, you will see a 4-digit number stamped on it. This number corresponds to the week and year the tire was produced, the expiration date is 4 years from this date. Tire pressure: Most people prefer to use their car under real tire pressure. For example, it is expected that the tire pressure should be 30 PSI down to 26-28 PSI and the tire will warm up to its normal value due to friction on the road. Keeping tire pressure low is not the right practice! In today's tubeless so called tires, there is no bladder and at low pressure, the tire touches the ground less, and the vehicle's road control is reduced. Moreover, the tire wears out unevenly and causes the tire temperature to rise to more than necessary. In this way, the tire is still available to burst more easily. In addition to the tire, the maximum allowable pressure values for that tire are also written. Check the maximum allowable pressure of your own tire, inflate your tires to their maximum allowable value. Different tires are designed for different air pressures. You can see the maximum pressure value of your tire in a small number close to the rim on the tire's sidewall. Never exceed this pressure value! Tire carrying capacity: Another important issue is the amount of load we carry in our vehicle. We overload our vehicles without considering the strain it will cause on our tires. Overloading can cause the tire to burst and crash. On the sidewall of the tire, the maximum load carrying capacity of the tire is written in index. Maximum speed value of the tire: The speed value that the tire is designed for is also indicated with a letter next to the load index. Tire's heat resistance: "Temperature", that is, the letters that follow the heat sign indicate the tire's heat resistance. Tires are listed as B and C starting from A for the highest heat resistance. The traction force of the tire: The traction force is the ability of the tire to stand on a wet surface. A tire with the value "Traction A" gives you the opportunity to stay on a wet road at a shorter distance than any other low-grade tire. The traction value is listed from high to low as "AA", "A", "B" and C. The tread value of the tire: This number gives you the tread value of your tire. A tire with a value of 400 lasts twice as long as a tire with a value of 200. your tires; Date of manufacture Maximum air pressure value Traction power Tread depth You must know the load bearing value for each tire Speed rating Heat resistance and Tire dimensions. Having regular service and maintenance as well as knowing about the technical information about your car is vital in protecting against risks such as accidents.
