Tyre Maintenance: Tips to Make Them Last Longer

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Wheel

In this video, discover some tips to improve the lifespan of your tyres. The first thing to do is to regularly check the pressure, which should be checked at least once a month (it takes no time, just do it while refuelling) and before a particularly long journey. The tyre should be cold and should match the specifications found on the label inside the driver's door of your vehicle. Additionally, occasionally inspect your tyres; check the tread, because if the wear has reached the rubber bridges inside the grooves, it means that - by law - they must be replaced. Also, examine the sidewall of the tyre for cuts, rubber wear, or bulges. These are all signs that the tyre has suffered. Regarding the use of nitrogen to inflate tyres, our specialist recommends inflating only the spare wheel with nitrogen, due to the slower loss of pressure. She also discusses the importance of using qualified personnel for any work on your vehicle's tyres.
