Precautions for the use of truck tires

The correct use of tires requires attention to the following points, truck drivers please pay attention

First, after installing the tires, be sure to reach the standard tire pressure
If your car is a standard-loaded vehicle, then just press it according to the standard pressure required on the tires. If it is overloaded, then it must be 2-3 pressures more than the standard pressure. Otherwise, it’s OK. It will cause irregular wear of the tires, and the tires will be worn out prematurely.

Second, the tire must match the rim
Matching tires that are too large or too small will result in unreasonable force on the tire spigot, excessive fatigue of the spigot, increased friction coefficient, premature failure of the spigot, damage to the spigot, and failure to achieve the sealing effect. In the end, The tire is scrapped.

Third, the load load index must be looked at when choosing a tire
If it’s a standard truck, it doesn’t matter. The national standard tires are designed according to the standard load, but for overloaded vehicles, you must look at the load index on the tires, and choose your tires according to the usual load to ensure that The normal service life of the tire.

Fourth, pay attention to driving speed
According to China’s national road traffic regulations, the maximum speed of freight vehicles must not exceed 80 km/h, but in actual use, the truck driver’s speed is definitely faster than this, but for tires, the faster the vehicle speed, the faster the tire’s heat will be generated. After the tire temperature is increased, the wear resistance of the tire will decrease, which will greatly reduce the service life of the tire. Therefore, it is also necessary for the truck driver to pay attention to the speed mark on the tire and drive according to the design speed of the tire.

Fifth, pay attention to the production period of tires and do not use expired tires
After the tire leaves the factory, the factory time will be marked on the tire. If the tire exceeds the factory time for 3 years, the rubber, steel wire and other raw materials used to make the tire will age and fail to meet the design standards. In this way, the overall performance of the expired tire will be greatly reduced. Therefore, It is recommended that truck drivers go to a regular tire sales point to purchase tires and do not purchase tires from unknown sources.

Sixth, be sure to install the tires in place when installing the tires

Generally, tire installers for many years can solve this problem well. Every old truck driver must know a few skilled tire installers. This problem is not our main consideration. It is just to remind truck drivers to go to unfamiliar places to repair. When changing tires, it is best to watch and work on the spot, so that you can feel more at ease, and don't waste a few thousand yuan in tires because of the installation fee of tens of yuan.
