According to the China Securities Journal, winter driving on ice and snow is actually only one aspect. The performance of the vehicle and the choice of tires are also important factors. How should the tyres be protected in winter?
Do not lower your tire pressure intentionally. Some older drivers often think that the tire pressure in the winter wheels should be lower to increase the contact area between the tires and the ground. It is believed that such friction will increase and be safer. In fact, this idea is no longer suitable for the current situation. In the past, the tire pressure of automobile tires was generally high. It was correct to reduce the tire pressure in winter. However, due to the comfort requirements of vehicles, the normal tire pressure is already relatively low. If the pressure is reduced, the tires will be easily damaged. Therefore, the tires of winter vehicles are stamped according to the standard.
Ice and snow roads should be changed for a long time. Usually, automobile manufacturers are all equipped with all-weather automobile tires when the vehicle leaves the factory. Such tires can handle ordinary road conditions without any problems in normal driving conditions, so they are suitable for all seasons. However, the performance is actually a compromise between the characteristics of summer tires and winter tires. Therefore, special tires must be used for excellent driving results. For example, the specially developed "snow tire" has a deep tread pattern, but it can only exhibit good adhesion at low temperatures and on icy and snowy roads. Therefore, long-term snow and ice roads can be replaced with "snow tires." .
Daily inspections. No matter what season you can't ignore the daily maintenance of tires, regularly check whether the tires are nailed, cut, rubber valve aging, cracking and other phenomena, found timely repair or replacement, to prevent loss of gas driving. Avoid protruding foreign objects such as nails, glass, and dry hard branches. Today's family cars are equipped with radial tires at the factory. The inner liner and the outer tire are tightly integrated. There is no inner tube, so when the tire is accidentally punctured, the gas inside the tire does not leak light, but slowly. leak. However, when the air pressure is reduced to a certain degree, the deformation of the two sides of the tread will increase, the tread pattern will be excessively worn, and the carcass will eventually be distorted and deformed due to the inability to withstand excessive pressure, and finally it will result in the holding of the tire. Winter should also pay special attention to tire aging and pattern wear, if the tire appears cracking or pattern wear is serious, should timely repair tires; if the tire inside and outside the wear is different, you can regularly change the location of the tire. In addition, do not use different brands of different patterns of tires. |
