Mistakes that will be costly

Car tires have never been cheap. Even the cheapest option costs a decent amount of money. Of course, this is explained by the significance of tires in the vehicle safety management system. When trying to save money, an inexperienced car owner may make mistakes that, considering the importance and high cost of tires, can be expensive or even very expensive. Today, we will talk about the main mistakes that can be made when self-installing tires.

1. Curved discs and balancing.
Our roads are not perfect. We have already written about the fact that having a second set of wheels often does not take into account the fact that during operation, the discs receive damage. Despite the fact that they may not be so noticeable, they can affect the relevance of balancing. Balancing the wheels before the season can not only improve your comfort but also extend the life of the tires.

2. Incorrect tire installation
At first glance, this seems simple, but nevertheless, cars with incorrectly installed tires are encountered too often. It is worth remembering that a tire installed without considering the direction of the tread pattern worsens water drainage from the contact patch, thereby increasing the risk of losing control when driving into a puddle or in rainy weather.

3. Incorrect tightening of the fastening
Almost everyone knows that the fastening on the wheels should be tightened according to the "cross-cross" principle, moving the key from bolt to bolt diagonally. This is done for optimal wheel fit to the hub and eliminates vibrations during operation. But few people know what effort is required to tighten the fastening. Insufficient tightening is simply dangerous for operation, and excessive tightening can damage the fastening.

4. Incorrect tire pressure.
Here everything is very simple, if you know what pressure is necessary for your tires, there is no guarantee that it will be correctly pumped up. There is no trust in the manometers installed on compressors, and a cheap manometer in your glove compartment can also make mistakes. A properly calibrated manometer in a professional service shows the pressure much more accurately.

5. Incorrect choice of tire fitting
All of the above mistakes can be avoided by simply choosing tire fitting from Mosavtoshina once. There is no reason to save on safety, especially since the price of wheel replacement in a set is not so high.
