How to ensure your tires last longer in the Philippines

Why is Tire Maintenance Important?

Did you know that simple monthly checks can significantly improve your tire’s lifespan and performance? 

Taking care of your tires is not just about saving money but also ensuring your safety on the road. Here are some practical tips to keep your tires in top condition.

Tip 1: Maintain the Proper Inflation Pressure

Maintaining the right tire pressure is essential for optimal performance, safety, and fuel efficiency. 

Always check your tire pressure at least once a month, preferably when they are cool, especially before long trips or when carrying heavy loads.

Tip 2: Prevent Under-Inflation

Under-inflated tires can wear out quickly and unevenly.

They reduce load capacity, cause excessive sidewall flexing, and increase rolling resistance, leading to heat and mechanical damage.

Tip 3: Avoid Over-Inflation

On the other hand, over-inflation can make your ride bumpy and uncomfortable, with increased vibrations.

It also raises the risk of damage from potholes or road debris, common on our local roads.

For peace of mind, check the recommended tire pressure level on your vehicle’s placard or owner’s manual. Keep your tires properly inflated to avoid hassle and accidents on the road.

Tip 4: Avoid Excessive Tire Spinning

If you get stuck in mud, sand, or wet areas, avoid spinning your tires too much. It can cause overheating and irreparable damage.

Instead, gently rock the vehicle back and forth to free it. And remember, never stand behind or beside a spinning tire—it’s dangerous

Tip 5: Regular Wear and Damage Checks

Remove your tires from service when they reach a tread depth of 1.6mm. New tires come with tread wear indicators that show as smooth bands in the tread grooves when they hit the 1.6mm mark. This is especially important in rainy weather to avoid skidding on bald or nearly bald tires.

Regularly check your tires for damage such as punctures, cracks, bulges, or air loss. If you notice any of these issues, have them inspected by a professional immediately.

Get Proper Tire Repair

Remember, following proper repair procedures is crucial to restoring your tires to safe and reliable condition. Avoid makeshift repairs; trust the experts.

Don’t Mix Different Tires

For the best handling and control, always use four tires of the same type and size as specified by the vehicle manufacturer.

Never mix different sizes and types on the same axle.

Regular Rotation and Balancing

Not rotating your tires, worn suspension parts, improper inflation, wheel imbalance, and misalignment can cause vibration or irregular tire wear.

Rotate your tires according to your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations or at a maximum interval of 10,000 km.
