5 TIPS FOR TIRES TO LAST LONGER

IMPROVE YOUR DRIVING HABITS

If you drive in an aggressive way, with screeching of brakes and continuous burst of acceleration, you reduce the lifetime of your tires up to 80 %. Moreover, the damage is more intense if you take curves at high speed. The same happens with we skid when starting the car.

CHECK AND KEEP

THE RIGHT PRESSURE

The tires should be checked and refilled once a week, according to the pressure indicated by the maker. An excessive pressure will only wear out the center. On the other hand, low pressure could reduce up to 20 % of the service life.

ROTATION

Makers recommend drivers to rotate tires every 10-15.000 km, in a bid to have a regular wear out.

AVOID POTHOLES

This is a hard-to-achieve recommendation. Nevertheless, if you are patient enough and slowly go through them both the tire and your pocket will thank you. It does not matter if the car behind you is sounding the horn.

AVOID LATERAL IMPACTS

Impacts against kerbs, while parking, also reduce the service life of tires. These insignificant rubbings or light impacts bring about internal problems in the tire.
