Just drove a new car off the lot? Or perhaps you’ve got new tyres. Before hitting the fuel station, you need to know what these new tyres can do.
Just like a pair of new shoes, your new tyres also require to be put through a breaking-in period before they could start driving at their best.
To enhance the safety of your tyres and to ensure safety on roads, the new tyres need to have a considerable braking ability. To achieve optimum levels of performance with your new Bridgestone tyres Peterborough, we need to try breaking in on new tyres before starting with day-to-day driving.
Several factors will help to make your tyres perform better than our old ones:
Lubricants
Antioxidants
Tread depth
Why get new tyres?
Ever thought about how these new tyres have taken their shape and form?
Whenever a new car tyre is manufactured, it is welded in heating moulds which helps them to get a particular shape and form. Now since these moulds are extremely hot, it is difficult for the manufacturers to pull the tyres out of these moulds without disturbing the entire process. So, for this, they use lubricant or silicone-based spray, which prevents the tyres from sticking to the mould.
To remove this layer which is although invisible, we need to wear it in our tyres because such a thing could serve as a barrier between the tyre and the road surface.
After the moulding process, which we discussed earlier, the tyres will have small vent holes and the surface will be extremely smooth and the treads would be stiff. Driving with your tyres is extremely important and effective as this will allow our tyres to settle in and will help in enhancing their performance.
How to get comfortable with your new tyres?
The first 150-200 miles of your new tyres should be regarded as a running-in period, but at the same time, we need to be extra careful while driving on new tyres.
When you start using new tyres, just try avoiding taking any harsh turns or sharp brakes, and make sure that you are driving at a medium speed. Since this entire process will be conducted on new tyres, it is logical to state that it’ll be better to maintain some distance from the vehicle which is in front of you, because the new tyres might not provide you with the desired braking standard.
To erode the surface of the tyres, while wearing new tyres, it is crucial for us to stick to dry roads, and to be extra careful about snow and mud. Avoid the latter as much as possible.
GETTING USED TO NEW TYRES
This running-in period will also help in adjusting your new tyres Peterborough. Let’s consider a case wherein your new tyres and your old tyres are of the same model. Will we see a significant change between these two? YES. You will surely see a difference even when your new tyres and old tyres are of the same model, and the change will be even more noticeable if your old tyres were worn out.
To improve safety and tyre life, we need to keep in mind the following points:
To maintain a proper inflation pressure in the tyres
Don’t rotate your tyres excessively
Check your tyres for any wear
Check your tyres for any damage
Do not overweight your vehicle
Maintain vehicle suspension and wheel alignment
