Five ways of car puncture in summer
Five ways of car puncture in summer
Maintain standard air pressure
When the temperature is high in summer and the road surface temperature rises, the tire pressure will easily rise. If the tire pressure is too high, it will lead to irregular wear and puncture. On the contrary, low tire pressure can also lead to a flat tire. It is the key to check the tire pressure regularly in summer and keep it within a suitable range.
Don't overspeed and overload.
When the vehicle is speeding, the tire rubs the road at high speed, and once it encounters a sharp object, it is easy to cause air leakage and puncture. Vehicle overload will increase the tire pressure, and the possibility of tire puncture will also increase. So don't drive too fast and overload.
Avoid sudden acceleration and sudden braking.
In hot weather in summer, sudden acceleration and sudden braking will reduce tire contents, aggravate tire wear, increase instantaneous pressure and lead to tire puncture. So drive smoothly, start, turn and brake steadily.
Let the tires cool naturally.
After driving for a long time, it is necessary to cool the tires, park the car in the shade as far as possible to naturally cool down and avoid direct sunlight on the tires. Don't use cold water to cool down, which will cause cracks in the tire, shorten the service life of the tire and bring hidden dangers to safety.
Check for wear.
Under the high temperature in summer, it is necessary to check the wear of tires and whether there are cracks on the surface before going out. If the tire tread is seriously worn or cracks appear on the surface, it is very easy to have a flat tire once it is mixed with foreign objects such as gravel when driving at high speed.
Methods of preventing automobile tire from puncture
1. Stones or foreign bodies in tread grooves should be removed frequently to avoid crown deformation. Check whether the tire sidewall is scratched or stabbed and whether the cord is exposed. If so, replace it in time.
2. Now many professional tire shops or professional automobile maintenance service shops have the service of filling tires with nitrogen. If your tire is filled with nitrogen, it can not only prolong the service life of the tire, but also keep the tire pressure stable for a long time, reduce the probability of puncture and increase the safety of the vehicle.
3. Vehicles that often drive on expressway must change their tires regularly.
4. When the vehicle is driving on the expressway, the driver should hold the steering wheel with both hands, and try to avoid passing through foreign objects (such as stones, bricks and wood blocks) and avoid passing through sudden deep pits at high speed.
5. All tires should be used within their service life (the service life of automobile tires should be about 2-3 years or 60,000 kilometers), and tires that have exceeded their service life or have been seriously worn should be replaced with new tires in time.
6. In hot summer, if you need to park for a long time, you'd better park your car in a cool place to avoid the tires being exposed to the sun.
7. Regular tire inspection can eliminate the hidden danger of tire puncture. In particular, it is necessary to check whether the tire pressure is within the standard range, neither too high nor too low.
I hope drivers will pay attention. Vehicle puncture doesn't just happen in summer. If the tire pressure is too low or too high, the tire tread will be worn to scrap, and even in the rumbling winter, the tire of the vehicle may burst. Therefore, in normal times, riders should pay more attention to the maintenance of vehicles.
