Instructions on operation of tires
When installing the tires with the directed road drawing (such tires can be recognized by the arrow on the sidewall of the tire) must be required to ensure the desired direction of rotation of the tire. Because of this will ensure optimal behavior of the tire against aquaplaning, grip, noise and traction.
The durability of tires
The service life of the tire depend essentially on the following factors: - Tire pressure;
- The nominal pressure of the air in summer tires are indicated on the sticker inside the cover flap fuel filler;
- It is especially important to maintain the recommended tire pressure when driving at high speeds. Therefore, you should check the tire pressure at least once a month and before every long trip;
- At the same time do not forget to measure the air pressure in the spare wheel;
- On the emergency spare wheel reduced sizes nominal air pressure indicated on the tire sidewall;
- In full-size spare wheel should always be to maintain nominal pressure in the case of a full vehicle load;
- Tire pressure should always be checked when tires are cold. With increased air pressure in the tires should not be heated to release air from the tire. With a significant load change should be changed accordingly tire pressure;
- On cars with full-size wheel cover, instead of the dust caps are extensions for improved ventilation. When checking and adjusting tire pressure is not necessary to unscrew the extension;
- Too low or too high tire pressure reduces tire life and impairs driving characteristics.
A warning  Prolonged driving at high speed tire with extremely low pressure is done a lot of work lateral deformation of tires owing to what tires hot. This can lead to the separation of elements treadmills tire and even to rupture it.
An underinflated tire leads to increased fuel consumption. Because of this, there is an excessive load on the environment.
Driving style
Overcoming the sharp turns at high speeds, rapid acceleration and hard braking - all this increases tire wear.
Wheel balancing
The wheels of a new vehicle are balanced. During operation of the vehicle under the influence of the various reasons balancing of wheels can be broken that can be seen by deviations in the normal operation of the steering. The imbalance of the wheels leads to increased wear of steering parts tires and suspension of the car, so the emergence of imbalances should be re-spend balancing of wheels. Vibration of the steering wheel from the imbalance of wheels is shown in a certain speed range and disappears while reducing or increasing velocity. In addition, wheel balancing is required after installing a new tire and after each tire repair.
Improper wheel alignment
Incorrect wheel alignment not only causes increased wear on the tires, especially unilateral deterioration, but also help to reduce traffic safety.
Indicators of deterioration of tires
Location markers on the sidewall of the tire (for example, the letters "TWI" or the icon in the form of a triangle)
The tire tread grooves are "tire wear indicators" height of 1.6 mm at right angles to the direction of translational motion of the tire. These indicators are in the range of six to eight (depending on the manufacturer) are placed at equal distances around the circumference of the tire. Markers on the sidewall of the tire (for example, letters "TWI" or the icon in the form of a triangle) shows the location of the tire wear indicators.
A warning Intensive tire wear contribute to sports manner of driving, intensive accelerations and sharp braking. Tires can be operated to achieve smiling profile depth 1.6 mm, that is, the groove should have a depth profile across the surface of the tire is not less than 1.6 mm. However, for safety reasons it is recommended tire change with a depth profile of 2 mm.
M + S tire on snow have adequate grip when the profile depth of at least 4 mm.
It should examine the tire for cuts and set their depth. If cuts reach a cord, steel cord will corrode from penetrating moisture.
Tires should be replaced at the latest when they are worn down to the tread wear indicator.
Worn tires do not provide, especially when driving at high speed on a wet road, the necessary adhesion to the road surface. In addition, when used tires significantly faster comes hydroplaning (loss of adhesion to wet surfaces.
