| New Tires |
Majority of vehicles come with
all five tires (including the spare) the same size. They should
also be of the same design and type, with the same thread pattern
and depth. Tires should be inflated in accordance to the specifications
on the owner's manual for that particular.
By following this combination the handling balance
that has been put into the manufacturer into the vehicle is best
retained. However for vehicles with front wheel drive, steering
and the braking force comes onto the front wheels, this pressure
would normally cause the front wheels to wear out faster than the
back tires. The front pair of tires would wear out instead of the
whole set, if tires are not rotated regularly. In the event that
you do not rotate your tires at all, then most likely the back tires
would only be half way worn whereas the front tires would be worn
out completely. The most likely thing that drivers would think is
that since the back tires are only half worn out and the front tires
are worn out completely, they should replace the front worn tires
with new tires. The logical thinking would be that by the time the
new front tires wear out, the back half worn out tires would also
wear out completely. BUT this logical thinking in this case is illogical
and also very very dangerous. In this scenario, when we require
to change pairs of tires, the new tires should be placed at the
back and the half worn tires should be placed at the front. |

Why do we need to do this: This
is because the new wheels at the back of the vehicle will help the
driver keep better control on wet roads and the new treads on the
tires will keep better traction and grip with the road. During moderate
to heavy rain, water gathers in every available depression, pockets
and road. For vehicles traveling at high speeds, this pools of water
can often create a challenge not only to the driver's ability to
control his vehicle but also to the gripping power of the tires.
The vehicle is in danger of going out of control and this can occur
with a combination of the vehicle's speed, weight, amount of pressure
in the tires, type and design of treads on the tires as well as
the amount of water. If the vehicle's back tires are newer then
the front tires, then the front tires would start to skid and loose
traction even before the back tires can form a proper grip of the
road. In the event that the vehicle starts to skid, the driver should
release the gas padel to slow down the vehicle and start to lightly
tap the brakes. Jamming in the brakes would cause the vehicle to
go into a spin. Always remember to keep a firm hold on the steering
wheel. Letting go of the steering wheel is like giving up control
of the vehicle. |
