How do you prolong the life of your tire?

The most important part in the monthly and annual maintenance of your car is the tire. So how do you increase the life of your tire?

Air pressure
Improper air pressure causes irregular and premature wear of the tire, as well as damages that cannot be repaired in the future. Air pressure should be measured when the tire is cold and the air pressure values determined by the vehicle manufacturers must be followed.

Rot adjustment
Steering and vehicle direction may not be the same due to the deficiencies in the mechanical and suspension systems of your vehicle. Pre-order disorder not only causes economic loss on your tires, but also damages the suspension and swivel parts of your vehicle, leading to high mechanical repair and maintenance costs over time.

Balance adjustment
Failure to match your rim and tire properly will cause you to feel uncomfortable, such as bouncing, knocking, runout, and rolling during fast driving.

Rotation (Displacement)
Since your tires are subjected to different wear movements in every position they are installed in the vehicle, periodic relocation will increase their lifetime.


Tread depth
The tread zone is the part of your tire that starts on the road. As the tire ages, traction decreases. Over time, the pattern on your tire becomes unusable. Using tires with a tread depth below 1.6mm is dangerous for life and property safety, and is also illegal in many countries.

Load quantity and loading format
Loads on the vehicle carrying capacity (pickup line) determined by the vehicle manufacturer; the tire warms up quickly; causes failure and rapid wear on cheek, shoulder and heel areas. Unbalanced loads also have a negative impact on tire life.

Brake adjustment
Have your brake systems checked at the intervals recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. Unregulated brakes cause irregular and rapid wear on the tires. Since the distribution of force will be different in relation to the tire during sudden and hard braking, the possibility of block-type wear increases.

Selection of tires suitable for vehicle usage conditions
Tires of the size and floor equivalent specified in the vehicle manual must be used. Vehicle Speed The tread rubber shows more wear compared to normal due to the increase in tire temperature as the vehicle usage speed increases.
