Better Understand Your Vehicles Tires

If this in the near future in you family will be traveling a long way with the use of private vehicles, don't forget to check the condition of the wind pressure of the tires. One problem is often considered trivial, even the often overlooked, yet potentially causing fatal accidents. Here are some things you need to know about tires.

A deflated tire led to wall tire bent in such a way, thereby increasing heat in the tires that can be ended with the outbreak of the ban. In addition, the tires are often used in condition deflated will faster wear out, as well as reduce controls and haulage capabilities and also increase fuel consumption.


Many of the actual accident cases occurred can be avoided, if only the driver diligently checking the condition of the tires. The thing is, knowing the conditions of wind pressure tires can not be done simply visually, especially on the tires. Infiltration wind out of the tire, in fact takes place gradually so as not recognized by the driver.


All tires, according to a statement of the major manufacturers of car tires, nothing is a hundred percent able to withstand air remains in the ban. Every tire lost an average of 7 Psi (Pounds per square inch) per year. The numbers correspond to the testing conducted Consumer Report. Which test the 108 36 tires from brands and 18 models are stuffed with a certain pressure of wind, having previously been ascertained that the ban was not in the circumstances of the leak.

Whole tires are stored in the same room, in room temperature (around 27 degrees Celsius). With a tire pressure gauge is very precise, the pressure of each tire are recorded every month.


As a result, after six months had passed none of the tire pressure is equal to the initial conditions of wind and everything is reduced. The average pressure is lost is 4.4 Psi, with a minimum range of 3 Psi and a maximum of up to 8 Psi.

Interestingly, the lack of correlation between price and performance tires with the loss of wind pressure tire. In conclusion, reduced tire pressure caused by the air bursts out, apart from very small holes around the rim and nipples also infiltrate through the tire wall.

To know the wind pressure in your vehicle's tires properly, buy tire pressure gauges. Measure the pressure of each tire on a regular basis each month. Keep wind pressure of tires in accordance with the car manufacturer's recommendation.

Sometimes a misguided user, using a benchmark wind pressure maximum tire as shown in the wall of the tire. Don't forget, wind pressure tires varies according to the temperature of the air, changes usually occur 1-2 Psi every 10 degrees of temperature change. So if you forget when last checked wind pressure tires, should soon be checked again.
