Tips for using tires in winter

   The tires are the only part of the vehicle that touches the ground, providing traction and grip, so when they fail, it can have serious consequences for the vehicle.

    In winter, when the vehicle stops in one place for a long time, when starting again, be sure to check whether the tires are frozen on the ground by ice and snow, and starting the vehicle blindly will damage the tires roughly. In addition, the vehicle should be started smoothly, and do not start urgently, which will cause the tires to spin in place and be damaged. In winter, foreign objects, such as ice cubes, gravel, etc., between the tire treads should be cleaned from time to time.

    In winter, when the outdoor temperature is lower than a certain temperature, choosing suitable tires is the primary guarantee to ensure that the tires maintain good grip and handling performance on winter roads. Especially when the vehicle is driving on snowy roads or slippery mountain bends, only tires with better grip can maximize operational safety.

    With winter tires, you can get better braking performance on winter roads for safe handling and better traction on snowy roads. For vehicles that do not have the option of winter tires, special drive tires or higher-grip tires are recommended, as these special tires provide the vehicle with greater drive, wet grip, and braking performance.

 Professional tire shops will conduct professional inspections on tires, and problems that are often overlooked by drivers, such as mixed coaxial tires with different patterns, coaxial tire pattern depths that differ by more than 4 mm, and uneven load before and after loading goods. The staff will make professional suggestions and eliminate the hidden dangers of driving in winter as soon as possible.

   In winter driving, correct tire pressure is very important for tire grip and fuel economy. A professional tire shop will find out the change of tire pressure in time during the inspection, especially when the vehicle travels from a high temperature area to a cold area, the professional tire shop staff will adjust the tire pressure reasonably and ensure that the valve core components are in good condition .

   Driving safety on icy and snowy roads has a lot to do with the driver's driving habits. Maintain proper driving habits. Bad habits such as violent braking, sudden steering, rubbing the curb, speeding, etc. will cause great damage to the tires and become an unsafe factor for driving in winter.
