Why Should Change Two Tires at a Time?

I believe that everyone has encountered a car puncture, so when changing tires after a puncture, how many tires do you change? What are the basis and precautions for tire change?

 

Why Car Changes Two Tires?

1. It is safer to change two. If only one is changed, the pattern of the tires on both sides of the car will be different, so the danger during driving is very great. Therefore, two tires have to be replaced for a car puncture，the pattern and wear of the tires on both sides are almost the same. The safety and stability when driving are greatly improved.

 

2. Because the two tires are the same, the car will be more stable when driving at a constant speed, and the car will show the importance of the tire lines on both sides of the car when the car is turning or braking hard, and the car will run smoothly, fuel consumption will be reduced.

 

 

Should the New Tires be Placed in Front or Behind?

For this problem, when your car is a front-wheel drive, the new tires should be placed in front, because the front wheels of the front-wheel drive require high grip. When the brakes are urgent, the center of gravity of the car will reach the front. If the grip of the front wheels of the car is not enough, it will be easy to have a car accident, so the new tires of the front drive car must be replaced on the front wheels.

 

For the rear-wheel drive, the new wheels should be installed at the back, because the rear wheels of the rear-wheel drive are easy to slip, and the power is also concentrated on the rear wheels. When the rear wheels wear seriously, the grip becomes very strong. If it is weak, it is easy to roll over during driving. When the road is slippery or in a sharp turn, it is easy to cause an accident.

 

Basis for Tire Replacement (normal use)?

You need to check the tire wear mark based on the degree of wear. The wear mark is a mandatory calibration, that is, each tire should be set (the legal minimum is 1.6mm), and once the tread and wear mark are flattened, it indicates that the tire has reached use. The service life, the friction, water conductivity, pressure resistance and collision resistance of the tire will be greatly reduced. It is difficult to ensure safe and stable operation in emergencies, and it should be replaced as soon as possible. At the same time, the vehicle owner should regularly use TPMS to check the vehicle pressure.

 

The tire is a rubber product, so it slowly ages in a natural environment. Therefore, the weathering and aging degree of the tire can also be used as a reference. Because tires are affected by rain, sun exposure, and changes in tire pressure, hardening, cracking, and peeling cannot be avoided over time, especially cracks on the side of the tire are potentially dangerous. Because some cars may run a few kilometers, the wear is not very serious, but the tires cannot be aged anymore, and they have been staring at the kilometers.
