Tires and wheels
No matter how new your tyre is, Magic Auto Tech recommends that you check your tyre pressure monthly and schedule regular inspections with a specialist. Five years later, an inspection is necessary to determine if the tyre is still suitable for road use.
It is recommended that tyres made 10 years ago (or more) be discarded and replaced with new tyres. Also for reservations. If it is 10 years old, it should be replaced, even if it looks new.
Knowing when to change tyres can be difficult, especially for people unfamiliar with car mechanics.
Here are some ways to tell if your tyres are about to expire:
Excessive vibrations
Just as there are good vibrations, there are also negative vibrations that should not be ignored if they come from your vehicle. If you drive on a dirt or dilapidated road, you will most likely feel the vibration. However, if there is vibration while driving on freshly paved roads, the vehicle may have a problem.
There are many things that can cause vibration and many of them can damage your tyres. However, vibration can also indicate a problem with your tyres. If you feel your car is shaking too much, you should take it to a mechanic to see what is wrong.
Tread
Thanks to the tread pattern, the tyres stretch on the road. Lack of traction can be dangerous, especially if you drive on wet or icy roads. Inadequate tread pattern can cause the car to slip and lose control.
Damaged tyres
No matter how old your tyres are, they are more likely to be damaged in addition to tread wear. Further damage is visible on the sidewall of the tyre, which is easily detectable. Cracks in the side wall can be a sign that you are leaking in your tyre or using a flat tyre.
If you see any bumps or cracks, you can take your vehicle to a tyre specialist and ask for guidance. However, there is a high probability that these tyres will need to be replaced.
Tyre Age
Tyre manufacturers and technicians have differing opinions about the life of tyres on the road. However, it is a good age to start thinking about changing tyres. While the tread pattern is a good indicator of the condition of your tyres, there may be internal problems that you cannot see with the naked eye, which can affect your safety. Burnout depends on how you drive, the type of road you drive, the pressure of the tyres, how you brake and how often you drive. Also, if your tyres are repaired due to leaks or holes in nails and other sharp objects, they will wear out faster.
If you notice any of the above problems in your tyres, it is important to address the problem immediately. Failure to do so will endanger not only your safety but also the safety of others on the road. Quickly changing tyres not only saves your life, but also protects your car from further damage in the future.
