Tire safety

Vulcanized rubber is flexible and stretchable due to its crosslinked structure that is not contained in conventional polymers. However, it has the disadvantage of continuous degradation with long-term use. We all know that heat, especially during the summer months, can be detrimental to tire performance and lifespan...

Tire rotation is an imperative tire maintenance procedure that involves changing the tires' position on the vehicle's axles. This systematic procedure is necessary to even out tire wear, increase tire longevity, and enhance vehicle performance in terms of handling, fuel efficiency, and safety. According to Michelin, tire rotation should be done every 6,000-8,000 miles...

Tire rotation is when all tires change their position between vehicle axles to extend their service life. Different types of vehicles (FWD, RWD, AWD, 4WD) have different tire rotation patterns (Forward cross, X-pattern, Rearward cross). The standard patterns include Forward cross-rotation, Rearward cross rotation, and X Rotation Pattern. Tire rotation is different from standard patterns when...

For car enthusiasts and everyday drivers alike, understanding the lifespan of your tires goes beyond just checking the tread depth. There's a silent threat that can dramatically impact tire performance and safety: rubber oxidation. Research, spearheaded by entities such as NHTSA and Ford Motor Company...

Tire rotation is the process of changing the position of the vehicle's tires at regular time intervals of 6,000-8,000 miles (9,656-12,875 km) or every 6 months. Regular tire rotation helps maximize tire life and ensure tread even wear. The rotation frequency varies depending on the type of vehicle (FWD/RWD/AWD/4WD), the type of tires, driving habits, and conditions...
