With the advent of spring, motorists need to replace the traditional winter tires for the summer. However, this simple procedure is usually associated with a lot of trouble: eyes get from a variety of models on the market, plus, not everyone knows how to look after the tires so they last longer.
Choosing kolec
with the statement that the most expensive tires are the best, nobody is arguing. New developments provide the best handling and minimal stopping distances, reduced fuel consumption by 5-10%, and low noise, and prevent aquaplaning. But at the present time of crisis, pay 8-12 thousand UAH. a set of wheels with premium can not afford even the rich.
Want to save should look to models of manufacturers that are members of or closely interacting with the bus-giants. For example, concern Goodyear owned company Sava, producing models of tires, lift the concern with the production of a few years ago, sold under the brand Barum Tyres Continental, and TIGAR - the same Michelin.
These wheels will cost 5-6 thousand UAH. per set. But even if such costs you can not afford, is buying tires in the price range of 500-900 USD. Their disadvantage is the increased stiffness, noise and lack of grip. However, it is better than driving on worn.
Add that the common mistake made motorists - mounting wheels on the place of purchase. The fact is that sellers often vtyuhivayut substandard goods, such as curves wheel, is not amenable to balancing, and "your" shinomontazhnik about it is silent. The result - an increased tread wear.
Operation
It should be noted that regardless of brand and price, almost all bus are designed for 3-4 years or 60 thousand miles of operation. Nedoprobeg says a violation of operating rules. So, install new tires on a car with a faulty undercarriage, for example, incorrectly exposed wheel geometry, the owner has 2-3 thousand miles detects irregular and rapid wear - prodeduru collapse / descent should be conducted at least once in 20 thousand kilometers (about 80 grn.).
Similar problems arise when riding with a high or low blood pressure (the correct settings are in the service book). Another sure way to quickly ditch the bus - travel 300-400 feet with a broken wheel (wheel chewed beyond repair).
Where to store winter tires
After pereobuvki many motorists question arises as to where to store a set of winter tires to the end of autumn. For this case, the vendor wheels offer a comprehensive service, which includes a tire, and keeping the wheels.
For Buyers tire centers offer a kit for only 150-200 USD. immediately and replace the wheels and keeping them in stock. Can be arranged without purchasing a kit, but in this case, the tire asking 150 UAH. And for possession of a wheel - 20 UAH. per month (UAH 240. per season).
Beushnye bus
At various stations, tire changers capital now sold as a set of tires not new - the enterprising shinomontazhniki collect them on European landfills and avtorazborkah. The price of one tire in the premium segment "(Made in EU, USA and Japan) - 400 UAH. That corresponds to the price of new tires budget class (produced by the CIS and China).
At the same time you can buy and beushnye drives - we were offered several sets of low-profile rubber 15-second range for 3-3,5 thousand UAH. (Instead of 6.9 thous. For new ones).
To buy such products is quite possible, but with reservations. So, choosing not new tires make sure, first, for the fact that their age is not more than 4 years (rubber tends to get old and change its properties) - release date is indicated on the lid, and secondly, that the tread is worn not more than one third, and the never peen or rolled (there are no specific signs of the machine on the rim). Immediately order a balance - if it is not possible, then these wheels must be returned to the seller.
