Tires Classification
Tires should be chosen depending on the conditions in which you plan to use them.
Tires are classified into the following types:
• Road, that is, summer tires are used on highways at zero temperature. Tires of this type have a maximum grip on wet and dry roads, it is best suited for driving at high speeds, and have a maximum wear resistance.
• Winter tires are designed for use on snow and icy roads, and depending on the situation on the road, chain, quality can vary from a minimum - for rolled snow up to the maximum - mud made of water and snow and ice. In the winter tires there should be installed TIRE STUDS, if they are not originally on it.
• Season tires allow them to use all year round. They combine quality and winter and summer tires, but inferior to them in the grip in various conditions.
• Universal tires are designed to ensure that they could exploit and groundwater, and on highways. They are very similar with all-season, and they often can be confused with them. Most of these tires installed on SUVs.
• Terrain tires installed on cars that are planning to operate mainly on soft terrain and impassable roads. But on the highway they quickly wear out.
How to maximize the life of the tires?
In order for tires to serve as long as possible, you must perform a series of recommendations for tires maintenance.
1. Not less than once a month, you should check tire pressure. Moreover, before traveling on highway and no harm will be to see what the pressure in the tires. The fact that it is the correct tire pressure will ensure their longevity and safety of the driver and his passengers. Pressure should be checked only on the tire he rode no more than 3 km, ie the "cold". Also be sure to implement all the recommendations of the manufacturing plant tires.
2. In order to avoid imbalance, which leads to vibrations, you need time to do balancing. Through balancing can prevent premature tire wear and steering, suspension and bearings.
3. Simultaneously with the adjustment of the wheels, should perform wheel alignment. It is possible that tires will quickly wear out unevenly. In addition, the tires sometimes need to change their places.
4. During the replacement tires must be changed valve. This valve provides leak, resulting in a tire can be operated for a long time. But to change the valve should be replaced at each tire, as under the influence of centrifugal forces tend to wear it.
Purdue University "Smart" Tires
In the Purdue University, located in Indiana, scientists have developed a new experimental tire. They will warn the driver not only to reduce the pressure, but also about the mishaps, hernias, cuts, factory defects in tires, Imbalance, incorrect installation of the wheel and even the broken wheels, which can happen any time soon. According to Reuters, the university has already created 24 "smart" tires, and plans shortly to patent the new technology.
According to the university researchers through the use of special sensors and special multi-layer materials could turn the whole bus in one kind of sensor, to monitor any changes in the structure of tires. All measurements will be made only for one second, and their results will be displayed on the screen of the onboard computer of the car.
The introduction of such a system would cost manufacturers just one dollar per tire, but for buyers "smart" wheel would have cost an average of 50 dollars more expensive. The University believes that new technology will be primarily used in tires for racing cars. When these tires may appear in the sale is not yet known.
It may be noted that the company is also developing new Pirelli tires, which will be equipped with special electronic microchips, recognizing the condition and temperature of the pavement. In addition, these tires can determine the residual life of rubber and report on the need to replace them.
