The times are developing, technology is advancing, the cost of cars is also declining, and now cars are no longer the original luxury goods, almost every household can afford to buy. This can be seen from the number of cars per capita on the mainland, so the driving license test has also become hot in recent years. However, although many people have obtained a driver's license through driving school, they know very little about cars.
Some people may say that as long as you can drive the car away, it is enough, and it does not matter much if you don't understand the car. This view is obviously problematic, if you don't know anything about the car, when you encounter an unexpected situation, you will be caught off guard, which is easy to cause an accident. In recent years, there have been frequent traffic accidents in the mainland, mainly because many people do not know enough about cars, there are some problems when driving, punctures are a common fault, and some novice drivers do not even know that car tires have a service life.
There are many parts on the car, each of these parts is very important, only they work normally, in order to drive the car smoothly, many people only know that the car's engine has an impact on the performance of the car, but do not know that the tire also plays an important role. Tires, as the only parts on the whole car that are in contact with the ground, bear all the weight of the car, whether it is stationary or driving, the tires are under pressure day and night, so the state of the tires has an important impact on the car.
In addition to the necessary costs when buying a car, the subsequent maintenance costs of the car are actually quite a lot, so some people say that they can afford to buy a car, but they can't afford to keep a car. However, many drivers only maintain the core components and neglect the maintenance of tires.
Tires are like a person's two legs, if there is a problem with the legs, it will be difficult to walk, the tire is the same reason, once the tire is damaged, the car will not only have bumps in the driving, if the tire is punctured, it may also cause safety accidents. It is precisely because the tires are suffering from wear and tear all the time, so the tires must be frequently tested and replaced in time. So how often is it reasonable to change the tires? Insiders mean that this time must not be exceeded.
The service life of the tire and the driving habits and the driving environment have a close relationship, if the driving habits are not good, often appear sharp braking or drifting operation, then the wear of the tire will be more serious. The friction on the flat road surface is relatively small, and the friction on the rough road surface is even greater, so if the daily driving section is worse, the tire damage will be more serious.
Many drivers are less vigilant about the accident of a flat tire, but according to official statistics, more than 40% of traffic safety accidents are caused by flat tires, and if the tires are punctured on the highway, the mortality rate is more than 20%. Therefore, we must pay attention to tire safety. There is no effective solution when the tire fails, so it is necessary to focus on prevention, that is, to do a good job in the inspection of the tire in advance, solve the problem in time, and eliminate the scourge in advance.
The tire is made of rubber, the rubber itself has an aging time, usually 8 years, that is to say, even after 8 years the tire surface looks like no problem, but the interior has become very fragile, the probability of failure is very large, this time must replace the tire. Of course, 8 years is a theoretical limit time, that is to say, in the most ideal state, the tire can last for 8 years, and in fact, for various reasons, the tire can not be used for so long.
Vehicles are not used frequently enough, only one or two hours a day, then the most scientific tire replacement time should be 5 to 6 years, or the mileage reaches 60,000 kilometers. If the car is used particularly frequently, and the daily use time reaches more than 8 hours, the wear and tear of the tire will be more serious, in this case, it is best to replace the tire once in 3 to 5 years. In addition to these two nodes to replace the tire, in the usual driving process, there are also some ways to maintain the tire, that is, to make the tire more durable.
The first is to conduct regular testing of the tire pressure: the tire pressure is very important, once there is a problem, the tire is easy to fail, so it is best to test the tire pressure once a week, this money can not be saved, the key time can be life-saving, some cars come with tire pressure detection devices, but the test results are not accurate enough.
The second is to try to choose a good road environment: this is relatively easy for urban commuter drivers to do, and some so-called items that enhance the durability of the tire should not be used as much as possible, and the chemical components in them may corrode the tire. The final method is to adjust the position of the four tires after the car has been driving for a while, which is to make the pressure on the four tires more even.
All in all, the role of tires on a car is very large, and we must not neglect the inspection and maintenance of tires, so that we can go far.
