There are no permanent tires. Therefore, it is important to monitor their degree of wear, because the controllability of the car primarily depends on this, and hence the safety of being in it, as well as fuel consumption.
The average tire life is 5 years. During this time, friction, deformation, temperature changes and aggressive substances destroy the rubber. Wear occurs imperceptibly, but can lead to sad consequences, so manufacturers recommend monthly monitoring the pressure inside each tire and not exceeding the permissible load.
But what are the main causes of tire wear and can they be influenced?
Reasons for tire wear
When a wheel rolls, the rubber faces the following loads:
And if the driver practically cannot influence the first two reasons for the destruction of rubber (unless he will drive on bad roads), then the third factor can be adjusted and thus extend the life of the tires.
How to extend the life of tires
On the one hand, the more pressure and the harder the tire, the less deformation. But then there is a risk of explosion when hitting a sharp object. Therefore, pumping tires is not an option.
On the other hand, tires that are too soft can be durable and have good grip, but are not economical to ride.
Therefore, a golden mean is needed here: in order to have good contact with the road surface, optimal pressure and well-adjusted chassis geometry. Yes, problems in the chassis and its component - the suspension of the car - entail rapid tire wear and additional material costs for gasoline.
Of course, if the wheels "go in different directions", then tire dragging occurs. In this case, you need to adjust the collapse and convergence. But the backlash in the suspension units also contribute to the deformation. Moreover, the angle of the axes depends on the state of the silent blocks.
What do silent blocks affect? Many car owners note that if the silents are in poor condition, the protectors are "eaten" very quickly and unevenly, for example, from the inside. In some models of machines, this influence is noticeably stronger, in some - to a lesser extent. Sometimes it is impossible to achieve a balance of convergence without replacing broken silent blocks.
In order to be less distracted by such a procedure, we suggest that you replace the rubber in the suspension with polyurethane. This elastomer is more durable, resistant to abrasion, withstands several times greater loads than rubber in twisting, stretching and tearing. According to some manufacturers, switching to polyurethane can slow down tire wear by 2 times.
The company "Poly Pro" makes exact copies of the original bushings and silent blocks for all brands of cars from high quality polyurethane.
In the manufacture of silent blocks, the metal clip is not pressed in, but welded in, so the connection is very strong and durable, preventing scrolling and backlash. Therefore, we confidently give a written guarantee for our products for 1 year, regardless of mileage.
And do not forget that when driving aggressively, the tires "burn". And smooth driving, that is, the absence of sharp acceleration and braking, prolongs the life of the tires and the driver.
