How to make tires last longer

Sep 27, 2024

Some people keep asking why my tires have a short service life. What's going on? Why can other people's tires last for five or ten years, but mine broke in two years? Do you know the ten major factors that affect tires?
1. Selection and installation of tires
Whether the tires are installed correctly or not is directly related to the service life of the tires, especially when replacing new tires. For example, the service life of four tires using the same model is definitely different from that of four different tires. Of course, when installing, you must also clearly see the classification of the tires, such as whether they are asymmetric tires. At this time, you need to distinguish between the inside and the outside. Installing them upside down directly affects the service life of the tires.
2. Tire pressure
Tire pressure that is too low or too high will affect the service life of the tires. If the tire pressure is too low, its radial deformation will increase, the deformation of both sides of the tire wall will be excessive, and the wear of the two shoulders of the crown will increase the temperature of the tire, which will seriously reduce the service life of the tire.
Of course, if the tire pressure is too low, it will cause abnormal wear of the tire. In severe cases, it may cause rolling. At that time, it is not a problem that affects the service life of the tire, but your tire may need to be replaced!
3. Tire load
The greater the load of the vehicle, the shorter the life of the tire, which is beyond doubt. This is especially true in the case of overloading. Tires produced by regular tire manufacturers are marked with a load index. Tires should be used within the maximum load corresponding to the specified load index.
4. Driving speed
The speed of the tire during driving will also affect the life of the tire. Although the sidewall markings of passenger car tires rarely reach high speeds, the high-speed operation of the tire and the rapid increase in tire temperature directly affect the life of the tire.
5. Tire temperature
During the driving process of the vehicle, the tire temperature rises due to extension, compression and friction. Excessive temperature can easily aggravate tire wear and even cause a blowout. Of course, the ambient temperature will also affect the temperature of the tire during driving. For example, the probability of a tire blowout in summer is greater than in winter.
6. Chassis condition
The parallelism of the front and rear axles, the four-wheel alignment, the working condition of the brake device, and the technical condition of other chassis parts will affect the life of the vehicle tire to varying degrees. Once a serious traffic collision occurs, the owner must drive the vehicle to a professional repair station for chassis condition inspection and adjustment.
7. Road conditions
If the vehicle is driven on gravel roads or bad road conditions for a long time, the tire service life will definitely be reduced. This is no exception for off-road tires.
8. Driving habits
This is a factor directly related to the owner. Starting too hard, turning suddenly, emergency braking, driving at high speed in areas with poor road conditions, frequently going up and down curbs, and scraping obstacles with tires when parking, etc., will cause serious wear of the tires, thereby reducing the service life of the tires.
9. Tire maintenance
Timely tire replacement, selection of appropriate tread, daily maintenance, regular tire pressure inspection, timely repair, and frequent digging of stones and foreign objects in the tread are all important factors in extending the life of the tire.
10. Vehicle maintenance
Many auto repair experts say that vehicles should be "three-point repair and seven-point maintenance". Don't wait until there is a fault before driving to the repair station for repair. The regular maintenance of the vehicle is also closely related to the extension of tire life. Regular inspection and maintenance of four-wheel alignment, dynamic balancing, steering knuckles, wheel bearings and suspension systems are essential.
