Essential factors to consider when buying car tyres

When purchasing car tyres, several crucial factors demand attention. Assess the tyre's manufacturing date to gauge its freshness and longevity. Utilise a car tyre size chart to ensure compatibility with your vehicle. Explore reputable brands like Yokohama Tyres renowned for quality and performance. Familiarise yourself with the tread pattern and ratings for optimal traction and durability. Consider factors such as weather conditions, driving habits, and load capacity to match your needs. By comprehensively evaluating these elements, you can confidently select the ideal car tyres for a safe and smooth driving experience.

How to determine tyre manufacturing date

To ascertain the manufacturing date of a tyre, examine the DOT (Department of Transportation) code imprinted on its sidewall. The last four digits of the code indicate the week and year of production. For example, if the code reads "3219," it means the tyre was manufactured in the 32nd week of 2019. Trusted brands like Continental Tyres adhere to this industry-standard coding system, ensuring transparency and reliability for consumers.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I replace my car tyres?
The frequency of tyre replacement depends on various factors like driving habits, road conditions, and tyre maintenance. As a general rule, consider replacing tyres every 5-6 years or when the tread depth reaches 2/32 of an inch for optimal safety and performance.
What is the significance of tyre rotation?
Tyre rotation involves periodically switching the position of tyres to ensure even wear and extend their lifespan. This practice promotes uniform tread wear, enhances traction, and improves overall vehicle handling and stability, resulting in better fuel efficiency and cost savings over time.
What are the benefits of nitrogen inflation for tyres?
Nitrogen inflation offers several advantages over regular air filling. Nitrogen molecules are larger and less permeable than oxygen, reducing tyre pressure loss over time. This leads to more consistent tyre pressure, improved fuel efficiency, longer tyre life, and enhanced safety due to reduced risk of blowouts or punctures, especially in extreme temperature conditions.
