What is tyre servicing? And why is it necessary? |
|
To run effectively, tyres need to be periodically
serviced to guard against uneven wear which might lead
to steering wheel vibration and impaired safety. Tyre
servicing includes tyre rotation and balancing as well
as wheel alignment. |

|
What is tyre balancing? And why is it necessary? |
Regular balancing is necessary because tyre and wheel
imbalance can lead to steering vibration. Accurate
balancing therefore improves vehicle stability,
performance and comfort.
There are two tyres of balancing:
Off wheel balancing is the industry standard.
High speed balancing is more rare and balances the tyre/wheel
assembly while it is attached to the car. |

|
What is Wheel Alignment? And why is it necessary? |
Wheel alignment refers to the adjustment of the
vehicle's castor, camber and toe angles such as that
tyre is mounted on the vehicle in an optimum position.
Wheel alignment should be checked regularly as
misalignment can result in:
- Uneven wear of tyres
- Instability in steering
- Reduction in tyre life by as much as 80%
- Accelerated wear of suspension and steering point
- Vibration, noises, pull, jerk and road wander
resulting in loss of control. |

What is tyre rotation/ tyre changing? And why is it
necessary? |
As tyres are mounted on different positions on the
vehicle, they wear off at different speeds.
Front wheel tyres tend to wear more rapidly in the
shoulder area because of steering and cornering forces.
The drive wheel tyres wear more rapidly in the tread
area due to drive fraction forces.
Rotation of tyres at regular intervals at 8,000-9,000km
will tend to equalize tyre wear and result in longer
tread life.
To achieve this, you need to mount and dismount your
tyres. Hence you will need a tyre changer machine to
make this process more efficient and less labour
intensive.
Balancing of the tyre and wheel assemblies of the
vehicle is carried out after the tyres have been
rotated. |

Why is nitrogen good for your tyres? And why is it
necessary? |
Nitrogen is better than normal compressed air because it
is a more stable gas than compressed air which consists
of oxygen and steam. Tyre filled with nitrogen can thus
hold its pressure better operationally when it is heated
up when made to run long distance on the road. Nitrogen
is therefore an effective solution to reduce pressure
leaks and maintain constant pressure. Oxygen and steam
(in normal compressed air) on the other hand can create
pressure leaks in the tyre since these molecules pass
quickly through the tyre walls. Hence nitrogen can
extend tyre life and generate better dollar savings in
the long run.
In short:
1.Nitrogen leaks slower than normal compressed air.
2.Nitrogen is a more stable (it is inert, dry and
non-flammable) gas and so does not heat up as readily as
normal compressed air. This reduces tyre heat and
rolling resistance and so saves fuel.
3.Nitrogen
non-combustive nature also makes it safer.
4.Nitrogen filled tyres also have better road holding. |
