How to increase the life of your tires. The reasons for their uneven wear.

It is not a secret that badly worn tires are lead to increased fuel consumption of the car, to a low level of response of vehicle, to increased dynamic factor, and it is just not safe. At the most crucial moment when you will be overtaking, for example, a worn out tire may burst. We advise you to be extremely careful when choosing tires for your car to obviate such sorrow. It is necessary to take into account the recommendations of the manufacturer. Incorrectly selected tire size will lead to rapid tire wear. 

It is not difficult to determine a tire wear, all you need is to measure the tread depth. It is also necessary to draw attention to the wear indicators - the special drawings that are located between the treads. As soon as the depth of tire tread and wear indicator become equal - it is time to change the tires. You need to pay close attention to these indicators especially if you want to buy used tires. Some dishonest sellers cut badly worn tires by using a special equipment. They simply cut out the rubber, making the treads higher. After that process, the tires look serviceable. But cars rubber is not designed for such procedures and buying such restored tires you risk your life! You need to be vigilant.
To increase the life of your tires you also need to abide some recommendations, that will help to reduce the speed of their wear. Driving style, for example, adversely affect the wear. Hard acceleration, as well as hard braking, make the tire wear faster.

The tire wear needs to be equal. It is also important. If the tire pressure is insufficient, the tire wears at the edges. If the pressure is above the norm tire wears at the central part. To achieve uniform tire wear the wheels need to be always under optimal pressure. The tire pressure sensors and the SMARTY Trend head unit will help to solve this task. These devices will help to control the pressure in your tires.

Here you can see the interface of the application for TPMS sensors. 

It is also necessary to monitor the condition of the chassis, regularly check the body geometry - to regulate the wheel alignment. The one-sided tire wear may be observed if your car has problems in this area.

If the tires front edge of the tread is worn more and its rear part has more sharp angles, it may indicate that the ball bearing, the silent blocks or wheel bearings are worn.

Thus you can diagnose the possible problems with your car by the tire wear.

Steady driving style, optimal tire pressure, in time made wheel alignment, properly selected tires, keeping the car in good repair -  all these actions will extend your tires life.
