Common Things You Need To Know About Car Tyres

You have to maintain your vehicle appropriately if you want it with you for a long time. Proper maintenance of the vehicle will be a tedious task for you if you are not familiar with its components.

 

In this blog, we will talk about Continental Tyres Sheffield. You have to be familiar with your car tyres if you want proper performance, stability and control while riding your car.

 

If you are a new driver, you must increase about different parts and performance features of your car tyres.


Have A Look At Common Things!


Rubber material:


Tyres have rubber as the main material. Natural rubber comes from rubber trees. Apart from natural rubber, tyre makers use synthetic rubber as well to make the shape of car tyres. Apart from the rubber component tyre makers also use components like carbon black, silica, fabric, and metal to make the basic structure of car tyres.


Air Pressure:


If you have ever observed, solid rubber does not make the final structure of car tyres. They have a tube that has air to create air pressure. Tyres experience inflation to perform their functions on the road surface.

 

According to carmakers, your tyres should maintain a correct level of air pressure while you drive your car on favourable or unfavourable roads. The correct level of air pressure may vary from vehicle to vehicle according to size and function.

 

Tyres with low or high air pressure will not run on roads effective because of the improper contact patch. Moreover, these tyres are more likely to face wear and tear and issues like blowouts or punctures in the future.


Tire Balancing:


To keep your tyres fit and fine, you mustn't avoid wheel balancing. If you feel the vibration on the steering wheel while driving your car, it can be a sign of bald wheel balancing. In this case, you have to visit a garage to check the wheel alignment.


Wheel Alignment:


Wheel alignment is also a similar aspect to keep car tyres healthy. Pulling the steering wheel is a common sign of improper wheel alignment. You should check the wheel alignment every 50000km. Moreover, check it when you change your tyres.


Tread Pattern:


A tread pattern is a layer of rubber that touches the road surface directly. You will see the tread pattern with grooves in passenger tyres according to their functions. In racing tyres, the tread rubber is smooth and is have no grooves. In passenger tyres, the tread pattern plays a vital role to provide proper grip and traction in both wet and dry road conditions.

 

Mainly three common types of tread patterns are available: symmetric, asymmetric and directional. You can buy a tyre with any of the three tread patterns to meet your requirements.

 

Never run your car on bald car tyres. A smooth surface is not ideal for passenger tyres. Your tyres must run on the road surface with a minimum level of tread depth.


Speed Rating:


However, your tyres can run on the road surface with proper efficiency but they cannot cross the specified speed limit. If you go beyond the speed limit, the car tyres will wear out at a faster rate. You can look at the sidewall of your tyre to get proper information about the speed rating.


Loading Index:


However, your tyres may carry the weight of your vehicle with the help of proper air pressure but you should inflate them according to their loading capacity. Overloading is a bad practice that will damage your car tyres seriously.


Types of Tyres:


Finally, there are a lot of types of tyres. Tyre makers make these tyres with the help of varied tread patterns and rubber materials. These tyres behave differently in different road and weather conditions.

 

The most common tyres of Tyres Sheffield are winter tyres, summer tyres, all-season tyres, mud tyres, performance tyres, all-terrain tyres, run-flat tyres, slick tyres etc.
