Truck tires are directly related to transportation efficiency and driving safety, and there are many pitfalls when they are purchased. Here is a practical guide to avoiding a pit.
1. First, do not choose inferior tires because of low prices
The price is a common concern, but the price of tires is too low, and the probability is poor quality. The tires produced by small workshops are low-cost, and the materials and processes are jerry-cutting, such as replacing raw rubber with recycled rubber, which makes the tire wear resistance and aging resistance extremely poor. Normal high-quality tires can run more than 100,000 kilometers, inferior tires may be less than 50,000 kilometers have to be replaced, frequent replacement is costly and delayed transportation. And poor quality tires at high speed explosive tires, very dangerous. So buy tires don't just look at the price, to comprehensive brand, reputation, choose reasonable price products.
2. Select suitable specifications to eliminate "mismatches"
Each truck has a suitable tire size, which is determined by load, speed, suspension and other factors. With mismatched tires, it will affect the performance of the vehicle. For example, the tire size is too large, the rolling resistance is increased, the fuel consumption is increased, and the suspension and brake may also interfere; The size is too small to withstand the normal load, easy to damage the tire. When purchasing, be sure to check the vehicle manual to clarify the tire width, flat ratio, rim diameter, load index, speed level and other parameters to ensure that the tire is suitable for the vehicle.
3. Identify retreaded tires and stay away from risks
There are a lot of refurbished tires on the market, and illegal businesses sell the old tires with serious wear and tear as new tires. After secondary processing, the strength and safety of the reconditioned tire are far less than that of the new tire. The identification of the refurbished tire can be started from these aspects: look at the pattern, the new tire pattern is clear and the depth is uniform, the refurbished tire pattern may have unnatural repair marks, and the depth is inconsistent; Check the identification, the new tire identification is clear and complete, not easy to erase, the refurbished tire identification is fuzzy, and even there are signs of re-paste; By hand, the surface of the new tire is smooth, and the refurbished tire may be bumpy. For the sake of safety, stay away from refurbished tires and buy new tires from regular channels.
4.Fourth, value the brand reputation, do not touch the "three no" products
Brand stands for product quality and service. Well-known tire brands with advanced technology, strict quality control, perfect after-sales service, long-term market test, excellent performance in wear resistance, handling, comfort and other aspects. The "three no" tires, that is, there is no manufacturer, no brand identity, no quality certificate, no quality guarantee, and the use of large risks. Buy tires priority to choose a good reputation brand, such as Michelin, Bridgestone, Goodyear, etc., although the price is higher, but can ensure transportation safety.
