TIRES

The role of tires at protecting the safety
and improving the driving is vital and
important.
1- Underinflated Tires
Driving with low-pressure tires causes high
fuel consumption may damage the tires.
Consequences: The risks of tread
throwing or separation of the casing which
could give rise to rapid deflation or even
4
a blow out.
2- Kerb contact
There is a risk of deformation, cuts or blisters
of the casing, which is overstretched. This
can lead to rapid deflation or blow-out.
- Hitting made by falling down the vehicle
into a hollow space which produces dents
on the ring and make damages to the tires
(Pot-holes). There is a risk of deformation
of the rim and/or damage to the tyre, which
often takes the form of an internal, therefore
often undetectable, cut; this in turn will
trigger off a tear in the casing ply, causing
abnormal wear concentrated on one part of
the tread, which can lead to rapid deflation
or a blow-out.

Consequences: If abrasion appeared
on some part of spokes of the tire is not
discovered on time, the tire, which is
exposed to these hitting falling into the
hollow space, must be visited.

Controlling the
Longer life of your tire
vehicle on the roads
Total checks:
- Inspect the air pressure of the tires
properly especially before long travels,
when the tires are cold.
- Wheels and tires must be precisely
inspected to identify the status of spokes
and sidewalls of tires and wheel rings.
- Never lower the warm tire air; since it can
be 0.3 bar or 4pounds power per squared
inch (4) more than cold tires.
- While the air pressure at the spare tires is
not specified, then drive using the low speed.
- Under no circumstances, do not use tires
without inner tubes.
Abrasion Index
In some tires the corruption of tires is
located under the spokes which appears
after abrasion; in this mode we should
replace the tire.
Warning
Damaged tires are dangerous! Avoid
driving with damaged, worn and bald
or overinflated tires.
Caution
Do not drive with worn, cracked,
damaged, underinflated
overinflated tires.
Underinflated tires are worn rapidly
and have severe adverse effects on
safety and control of the vehicle.
