Tire “Transposed posts” life can be extended 20%

“From last year to now, my car ran nearly 20,000 kilometers, a few days ago ‘51′ Zijia You come home and find the front tire wear than the rear tires to big, do not know whether to replace the tire?” Ms Lau in said by telephone. Reporter learned that the weather gets warmer, many owners will take their families out to drive, car tires have different degrees of wear, and many owners are on the replacement tires are some doubts about this, journalists were interview.
    Transposition can tire life extension

    Reporter learned from the many car 4S shop, and now the owner of the vehicle maintenance is very attentive, but many owners think of when they encounter problems is the tire change, in fact, tire change frequently takes a lot of silver, very often, tire transposition can extend tire life, and reasonable to extend the life of the tire transposition allows 20%. For the owners substantial savings.

    Rui Fu Dongfeng Nissan franchised store service manager told reporters that Wang Zhe, tires regularly transposition “rotation” is to ensure that every tire has reached a balance of work intensity, however, when the tire swap is a regular, not random changing positions.

    In general, there are two ways to exchange the tire, the first approach is to the left front tire and left rear position tire position on the exchange, right front tire and right rear position tire position on the exchange; The second is cross on the exchange, ie the front left tire was transposed to the right place after the bit position of the tire, the right front position to the left rear position tire tire swap position, relatively speaking, the second method is better.

    As for the exchange of kilometers, some models of the “vehicle manuals” in the proposal, front-wheel drive vehicles traveling 8,000 kilometers per conversion should be done, but you need four-wheel drive vehicle when the transposition per 6,000 km. 20,000 km or more if no transposition, tire wear has been formed, the proposed tire is not transposed, and in order to avoid deviation phenomenon. However, Wang Zhe, said: This is also according to the specific loss of tire case may be, which is more Guarantee.

    Spare tire also has shelf life

    Now, in the process of car, most consumers pay little attention to spare, often total in the event of a puncture car tires were slashed or the spare tire to think of circumstances. In fact, it is worth to note that consumers, if the spare tire’s size and structure of the normal use of tires with the same car, the most scientific, most reasonable way is to cross even the spare tire with the conversion, so that a car running 5 to 10 10,000 km, the five tires (including spare tire) wear evenly, you can directly replaced, do not waste spare tire.

    However, because the tires also have shelf life, consumers must first look at using the spare tire spare tire before the state, after all, is a rubber tire, if the spare tire place for many years, may be cracking. It is understood that, in general, the shelf life of the tire from the factory day count, about 5 years, can not continue to use expired tires, consumers do not be afraid to waste, take time to dispose of expired tires.
