Five Habits to Extend the Life of Industrial, Agricultural and ATV Tires

  The use of industrial, agricultural and ATV tires is a very important component for every heavy-duty truck, and its role cannot be ignored for the driving and safety of the vehicle. Forming good habits is also very important.

  Here are five habits to help extend the life of your industrial, agricultural and ATV tires!

  1. Check tire pressure at any time

  Air pressure is the key to prolonging the life of industrial, agricultural and ATV tires. Tire pressure often exceeds 20% of normal air pressure, and its life will be reduced by 10%.

  2. The air pressure must be consistent

  Tire air pressure is the life of industrial, agricultural and ATV tires. If the air pressure is too low, the deformation of the carcass becomes larger, and the sidewall is prone to cracks. At the same time, it leads to excessive heat generation, which promotes the aging of the rubber, the fatigue of the ply, and the breakage of the cord.

  3. Regularly clean foreign objects

  Some foreign objects that are stuck when the vehicle is driving on the road should be cleaned up in time to avoid the occurrence of tire blowout.

  4. Driving habits meet scientific requirements

  When driving on a road with a large camber, try to drive as much as possible to avoid and reduce the offset of the car's center of gravity, and reduce the increase of tire load on one side and cause uneven tire wear.

  5. The front and rear wheels maintain accurate orientation

  Front wheel alignment has a great influence on the service life of tires, especially front wheel toe and front wheel camber are the main factors. The camber of the front wheel mainly accelerates the wear of the tire shoulder, that is, partial wear; the toe-in of the front wheel mainly accelerates the wear of the inner and outer tires.
