Quick-Guide To Automobile Tires

A QUICK GUIDE TO 堂 AUTOMOBILE TIRES 名 TYPES OF TIRES Different types of weather-specific tires have been developed to optimize safety all year round. They are tested through exposure to extreme cold and heat under controlled indoor conditions. WINTER SUMMER /PERFORMANCE Mud and snow capable, flexible tread, short tread life, safe below 0°C Superior grip, short tread life, rougher ride, safest above 7°C ALL-WEATHER ALL-SEASON Water-repellant, maximİzed traction, safe for temperatures above and below 0° Optimized wet-grip tread channels, long tread life, quiet ride, safest above 7°C TIRE PRESSURE Optimal pressure levels are essential for preserving the life of automobile tires, promoting a safe and steady ride, and helping to prevent flats. According to the Canadian Rubber Association, improper tire inflation causes 75% of flats and 250,000 Canadian road accidents per year. Low tire pressure increases road friction, wasting up to 5% of each tank of gas or $500 of gas money per year. OK UNDER OVER PROPER INFLATION INFLATION INFLATION Causes rapid wear and Boosts impact damage Produces a smooth, tear of the tread shoulders risk and tread deterioration flat tread surface, through excessive flexing by putting to0 much pressure on the centre of the tires encouraging a safe and steady ride TIRE DEGRADATION CAUSES High Speeds that Overloading vehicles beyond load rate requirements (common in trucks, pickups, and SUVS) surpass a tire's km/h ratings - Environment hazards like potholes and road debris often cause unavoidable leading to burnt treads and tire tire damage blowouts SIGNS AND ADVICE Uneven tread: bald spots and uneven channel depth obvious to the touch Bulges or blisters: extreme weak spots and ruptures that mean tires need replacing ASAP Tire color: browning around the sidewalls or grey edging on the tires' shoulders SOURCES: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/39/b4/ae/39b4aeef8793fb3f47723ecfb83fb03f.jpg http://www.valeo.com/medias/upload/2012/12/3088/white-paper-cars-and-safety.pdf https://miltonruben.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/weatherconditions_tireblog.jpg http://blog.shipperoo.com/2014/07/check-condition-tires-3-easy-steps/ http://www.rubberassociation.ca/files/research%20reports/2009%20Consumer%20Tire%20lnflation%20and%20Attitudinal%20Study.pdf http://www.infohorse.com/tirepressuresafety.asp in 8* ube You Automotive 1-866-994-2284 1-519-220-1650 TRAINING CENTRES www.autotrainingcentre.com
