"It is easy to buy a car and it is difficult to maintain a car", when the owner buys a car, he can buy a decent family car with a one-time payment of hundreds of thousands, but after buying it, we should not forget to carry out routine maintenance of the vehicle. Car maintenance mainly includes two aspects, large maintenance and small maintenance, we often say that the replacement of engine oil and three filters is the small maintenance of the car, the replacement of car tires, coolant, brake oil is the big maintenance of the car, of which, the most headache for the owner is the tire maintenance of the car.
As we all know, the maintenance cycle of different car owners for car tires is very different, some cars mainly drive 80,000 or 90,000 kilometers to replace a set of vehicle tires, and some owners drive 40,000 or 50,000 kilometers to replace a set of car tires. What car owners care about is not the maintenance frequency of tires, but the price of car maintenance, after all, the price of tires is very expensive, for ordinary 100,000-level family cars, the replacement of four ordinary tires, the price will be as high as 1500 yuan, and with the improvement of the car grade, the price of car tires is also multiplied, if you drive a BMW 5 series, the total price of four tires is estimated to be as high as 6000 yuan, plus man-hours, the cost of tire maintenance alone is as high as seven or eight thousand. I believe that many car owners have this question, how often should the car tire be replaced? How to make the tire of the car realize its maximum value?
The maintenance cycle of car tires is mainly due to two aspects, one is the use time of car tires, the use of working conditions, the other is the number of kilometers traveled by car tires, in general, the maintenance cycle of car tires is 3 to 5 years or about 60,000 kilometers, if you have a deep understanding of the quality of your own vehicle tires, you can make a proper extension of its maintenance cycle.
Time limits on the use of car tires
The main material of car tires is rubber, and rubber will deteriorate after a long time of use, especially car tires that are exposed to the sun for a long time, rubber aging is more serious, once the rubber is aging, its elasticity and strength will be greatly attenuated, which will seriously affect the safe driving of the owner.
Under normal circumstances, after the tire is used for two or three years, the owner needs to observe whether there are fine cracks on the surface of the tire, and if there are crack marks, it proves that the car tire is seriously aging, and the owner needs to replace it in time. If the owner wants to extend the aging time of the car tire, he can buy an underground parking space for his car, and when the owner parks on the ground, he can consider parking in a shaded place. Under normal circumstances, car tires can be guaranteed to be used by the owner for at least 3 years, and if properly maintained, there is no problem in using them for five years.
Limit the amount of wear on your car tires
In addition to rubber aging, car owners also have to take into account rubber wear. Car in the driving process, tires and ground contact for a long time, will inevitably lead to a certain degree of wear on the surface of the tire, if the amount of wear is too large, indicating that the thickness of the tire is thinner, naturally weaken the strength of the car tire, in the case of excessive wear, the car tire will appear puncture phenomenon, and the grip of the tire becomes worse, and then weaken the vehicle's control performance, in the sharp turn, may appear tail, roll and other abnormal conditions. Under normal circumstances, when the wear of car tires exceeds the wear stop point, the owner must consider replacing the tires of the car.
How to reduce the wear of the tire surface? The answer is obvious, the owner should step on the brakes as little as possible, when stepping on the brakes, do not step too hard, so that there is no sliding friction between the car tires and the ground, and try to exist in the form of rolling friction. Imagine if there is an emergency in front of you, the owner of the car stepped on a sharp brake, the tire quickly hugged, in this case, there will be severe wear between the tire and the ground, leaving a deep tire mark on the ground, which is the severe wear of the rubber on the surface of the tire. If the owner develops good driving habits, gently slams on the brakes, and tries not to let the car tires lock up, I estimate that your car tires can travel at least 80,000 kilometers.
In summary, the maintenance cycle of car tires is not fixed, it is closely related to the driving habits of the owner and the maintenance of the car, if the car has good driving habits, the car is cherished everywhere, the car tire can be driven by the owner for 5 years or 80,000 kilometers, but if the owner is recklessly driving, 3 years and 50,000 kilometers are replaced once is not excessive.
