What causes tires wear out?
• When the air pressure is low, treads movement becomes greater, and the tire wears out faster • When the load has increased, the flexing of tires is increased, and treads movement becomes greater and tires wear faster. • If vehicle speed becomes higher then driving force, braking force and centrifugal force increase. This causes slippage between tires and the road surface and the tires wear out faster. • The force opposing centrifugal force at the time of cornering generates friction power between tires and the road surface which causes tires wear out. Q.9:Why is tire rotation necessary? When a vehicle is being loaded, being driven, and is turning, the forces applied on the front tires and rear ties are different, so the wear of front tires and rear ties each advances in a unique way. Therefore, for tire durability, it is important to do the tire rotation at appropriate intervals of times.
