The extreme level of heat in this part of the world has made us familiar but our cars cannot get used to of it that is why different parts affected eventually and the tyres bear additional stress due to long trips, high speeds, and heavy loads.

For Tyre Dubai has listed down 4 important tips which can help you out this summer and keep you safe on the road.

Check the tyres – on regular basis

Each and every tyre should be checked even the spare wheel. You can perform a conductive check up by looking for visible signs of damage such as exposed cables, deep cracks, uneven cuts or wears.

By the measurement of the tyre tread, you can find out the remaining life of service. You can utilize a trade depth gauge to determine it. The new tyres usually have 8mm of depth. According to the rules and regulations in the UAE, the minimum tread is 1.6mm in motor cars and they are advised to change the tyre when tread reach 3mm.

Check the pressure – on monthly basis

It is good to perform once in a month air pressure check as every month it drops to 2 pounds naturally. The high temperature of the UAE can increase the drop.

Near the door latch, recommended the pressure of inflation is stated on the driver's side, or you can read it in the manual. Check it when the tyres are cold, that means you have not driven your car for at least 2 hours. But if you check it when your car is warm add 0.3 bars to the level.

Check the balance – on vibration

Check out if the tyres are balanced properly. If the vibration is felt through the steering wheel, you tyres are most probably not balanced.

Check the alignment –when vehicle drifts

Make sure that all the wheels are aligned properly without any imbalance. As you drive your car daily, the suspensions worn out and springs get stretched. Upon driving over a large object or hitting the pavement, your suspension can easily disrupt making improper angles for wheels.
