As the saying goes: a thousand miles begins with one step. Car tire is "feet", the car in order to properly and safely driving, of course, can not do without the normal functioning of the tires function. Many places are gradually entering the coldest time of winter, icy been the norm, the owners will bring traffic inconvenience. Winter weather not only for the driver's driving skills is a test, a test of the car itself. How can I do the proper use and maintenance of tires, let your love car full play to her advantage? Here we give you some tips.

To ensure that inflation pressure

Low winter temperatures, according to the principle of expansion and contraction, the owner should be appropriately increased winter tire inflation pressure to reduce tire wear and tear. At the same time, if in the case of icy slippery, pneumatic tire pressure is too high will affect tire grip. Under normal circumstances, in the cold of winter, we recommend to use than the standard 10?15?f the inflation pressure, but can not exceed the maximum inflation pressure specified in the product manual. In addition, in the cold of winter, the main car always check tire inflation pressure when the tire is under-inflated pressure, it is timely to supplement.

Control the travel speed

In the cold winter, if parking is restarted, since the tire is more rigid, it must travel at a lower speed for some time after starting to travel by normal speed. Of course, winter driving safety is most important to control the speed. Especially in highway driving, pay attention to control the speed, not hard acceleration, braking, so as to ensure security, order in the cold season, effectively protect the car and tires, thus avoiding accidents.

Clean strengthen protection

Before the cold winter driving, with particular emphasis on clean after every tire. Before driving, to check whether the tire tread ditch is covered with snow and ice, and if so, will have to clean up. If the pattern sandwiched ditch ice is hard, can not be forced to pry, not hot water poured in the tire surface. Irrigated with normal to the tread surface, and then start the car, after a period of time with a low speed by the normal speed. After driving, the tires to check whether there is a stone flower pattern ditch folders, such as iron nails or hard object, and if so, to immediately clean up.

Watch wear indicator

Great new tires and used tires traction and grip difference. Those tire wear is very powerful, even in winter tires, can not play a role on ice and snow. Therefore, the tire should be replaced according to wear and when. All tires have a depth of 1.6 mm at the tread wear indicator, where there are local wear indicator has a small projection, the projection referred to as "tread wear indicator", next to the boss with a "tread wear indicator" English abbreviation "TWI". Under the premise of normal use, tire wear will reach this place raised the need to replace the tires.

Tips: winter weather and icy roads tire choice

Most owners have such impression, traction and grip wide tires larger than the narrow tire, so that multi-use luxury car handling good wide tire. However, the situation snow and icy roads and weather are not the same on dry pavement, snow and ice weather and icy roads, tire traction and grip than the tire friction with the ground, but by the tire tread depth in snow and ice in, snow and engage with each other to obtain. A normal tire, whether it is narrow or wide tires the tire, due to their own characteristics of the pattern, the tread ground contact area is large, the pressure is small, it is difficult to tread depth in the ice, and therefore less grip traction and soil fertility. Only winter tire tread in order to ensure that they effectively cut into the snow and ice to ensure they have enough traction and grip, thus ensuring driving safety car.
