The quality of tire performance is closely linked to driving range, proper operation of the vehicle, and correct usage. While the lifespan of a tire is influenced by its quality, it also depends greatly on how it is used and maintained. Therefore, the following factors should be carefully considered when using tires:
1. **Using Tires for the Wrong Purpose**
For example, high-profile tires designed for paddy field work should not be used in road transport. This can increase vibration during transit and reduce tire life by 20% to over 35%. Similarly, if tractors are used in fields without high-profile tires, the high slip rate will significantly shorten tire life.
2. **Incorrect Inner and Outer Tire Specifications**
Using inner tubes or linings that don’t match the tire size, or mixing new outer linings with used inner tubes, can cause damage. Also, using mismatched cross-sectional widths between inner and outer tires can negatively impact tire longevity.
3. **Improper Tire Pressure**
Both over-inflation and under-inflation are common causes of reduced tire life. Many farmers drive short distances without spare tires, leading to low pressure on the way. Some drivers ignore temperature differences and tire age, which can lead to blowouts.
4. **Violation of Tire Installation Rules**
Improper installation and removal can damage the tire’s outer edge and inner tube, reducing tire life by up to 16%.
5. **Overloading the Vehicle**
Overloading is a major cause of early tire failure. According to research, even a small load increase of 3% can double tire life, while a 40% overload can cut it in half.
6. **Exceeding Tire Speed Limits**
If a tire is rated for 60 km/h but the vehicle frequently exceeds 90 km/h, the tire life is halved. Long-term high-speed driving can cause tread separation, delamination, and thermal breakage.
7. **Neglecting Tire Maintenance**
Some drivers focus only on earning money and ignore serious tire damage. Timely repairs are crucial, as once tires reach the wear limit, they can no longer be repaired.
8. **Failing to Rotate Tires Properly**
Drivers who switch vehicles often may not rotate tires properly. When using snow chains, ensure left and right elasticity is balanced, and remove them promptly on smooth roads.
9. **Misalignment or Damage in Axles**
Deformed or worn axles, suspension systems, or shafts can severely impact tire life, often cutting it in half. Regular maintenance is essential.
10. **Uneven Load Distribution**
Uneven cargo distribution can cause overloading on certain tires, accelerate wear, and even lead to blowouts. It also increases the risk of rollovers and affects traction, especially on tractor-trailers.
11. **Inappropriate Parking Locations**
Parking near oil, acidic substances, sharp objects, or fire sources can damage tires. Prolonged exposure to harsh conditions also reduces tire life.
12. **Long-Term Parking Without Rotation**
If tires remain in place for long periods, especially at low pressure, they can develop deformation and delamination, drastically reducing their lifespan.
13. **Poor Driving Skills**
New drivers often brake suddenly, make abrupt turns, or drive over obstacles without choosing the right speed or road surface. This increases tire wear. Driving on gravel or rocky roads can reduce tire life by 30% compared to asphalt. High-speed steering can increase wear by 40%-50%, and extreme heat combined with high speeds can cut tire life to 70%.
