Tires are basically made of rubber. And elastic rubber, the most afraid of the external environment is bad resulting in rubber deterioration. The most common condition is when the rubber hardens and loses its elasticity, eventually causing cracking.

The following tips hope to maintain your car tires can have some help.

Tip 1: after washing the car every time, the tire edge can keep the rubber elastic tire wax, let the rubber moisturize, not only looks black and beautiful, but also the actual maintenance effect.

Tip 2: it is suggested that you can buy a tire pressure gauge from the auto material store and measure the tire pressure regularly. Generally speaking, for a 2.0-litre medium car with 195/60r15 tyres, the front and rear tyre pressure is about 2.2 to 2.4 kg/cm2. Often with multiple passengers or a large number of items in the car, the tire pressure value must be about 0.1 to 0.2 more than normal. In addition, the tire pressure can be moderate, do not hit too high. If it is in the summer, or to the highway long distance driving, should also be a moderate increase in tire pressure, in order to help the tire heat dissipation.

Tip three: if you are ready to drive before, the tire has been flat, but you did not notice before the road, then after the road first you will feel the steering wheel to become heavier than usual front wheel, with the increase of speed, straight direction becomes very difficult to grasp the front wheel, and even repeatedly slanting to the side of the leak; And if the rear tires leak, then the rear of the car sliding from side to side must be felt.

When you find yourself with a flat tire, don't panic. Pull steadily to a safe side of the road. Get out of the car to inspect the situation and then, if you have a pump, try to inflate the flat tire. If it does not leak again soon after filling up, you can drive directly to the car repair shop and ask them to examine the tire in detail, confirm the cause of the leak, and complete the necessary remedial measures. If you don't have a pump, you have to get a spare tire, wrench and jack out of the trunk. First loosen the screws of the tire with a wrench, then lift the car with a jack, and finally change the tire. When locking the spare tire back, please remember to lock the screws in diagonal order.
