Choosing Tires for Rainy Season

Road surface is always wet because of the rainy season should get more attention for the motorist. Due to the wet road is more slippery and easily cause the occurrence of the slip while driving, for that alias black rubber tires used must be suitable for wet road conditions. If the tires used are correct then the ability to bulldoze the road the car when driving in wet or rainy conditions would be more comfortable and safer.

Note the contour
In choosing a tire that can fit to pass through the wet streets there are some that must be considered, first choose a tire that has a contour surface with a stroke or a lot of tire development and meetings, because these tires can break down and pouring water on the surface with good tires so the tires can be properly gripping the asphalt (Grip), although in a state of the wet street.

Furthermore, the tire material is also worth noting, choose a tire that uses a soft rubber material (soft or medium compound), because the soft rubber material used in tires, it means the tire grip to the pavement surface will get better, but the tires will be faster development discharged due to the power of friction to be bigger asphalt. Finally select and use a tire in accordance with the standard size of the car manufacturers for more safety.

If the tires used are appropriate, outside of the tire selection, tire pressure condition and tire wear levels also have to keep attention. Tire pressure should also be adapted to receive tire load, the heavier the burden, then the tire pressure should be the normal 28 psi to 30 psi for front and rear it should be added about 2 or 3 psi. This is done so that the tire did not make the car handling shaky due to lack of pressure. Addition of pressure should not be excessive because it can increase the risk of a lump or a broken tire.

Now it’s up to you, because safety is primary.

Plus and Minus of Using Slim Tires

Tires can be likened to a shoe in humans. With the presence of vehicle tires can be engaged and drove smoothly and comfortably. The selection of tires is not only used for basic purposes, but also can be used as a fashion just like the shoe, especially for the same modifications to the vehicle hooked.
In use, wheel size must be adjusted with the wheels of the vehicle used. Thus each tire manufacturer provides plenty of choices in size and type of tire production.

In terms of selection of tires that will be used, of course, we must be enough information. Moreover, the desire to make use of tires as fashion. The following information on the advantages and disadvantages of thin and thick tires:

Slim/Thin Tire Profile
Thin tires to use and designed to be more concerned with performance and speed factor, typically used for motor racing circuit. Tire sizes also remain to be adjusted with a wheel, usually when the diameter of the wheels go up 2 “(two inches) the diameter of the tire that can be used is down 2″, if lebihpun usually used only for racing.

Advantages and disadvantages of using a thin profile tires are:
1. In general, thin-profile tires have a softer material so that the tire can be quickly eroded, but the better tire traction.
2. Because the basic material that is soft then the thin tires are recommended for use on asphalt. If frequently used on rough or damaged road could quickly bald.
3. Generally have a V-shaped development, making it suitable for crossing the watery asphalt road (rain).
4. Impressive slim profile tires and sporty vehicle not so much fat in the legs aka bulky. Grease at the foot of impressive cars so less agile, by contrast with the thin tires so the car look even more easily and swiftly. Very fitting for the driver with a dynamic character.
5. Unfortunately, the price is more expensive than the thin tires with standard tires or thick-profile tires.

Thick tire profile profiles discussed are the standard tires for vehicles to be used in everyday situations. “This profile is take the” middle way “between slim profile for racing with a thicker profile / flowers for offroad rough,” said one mechanic Tire Zone.

Excellence is the standard tire usage profile:
1. Has developed a standard tire that is thick and so is suitable for all weather (all weather and all terrain)
2. Having materials that have been adjusted to a standard vehicle can be used any longer.
3. More comfortable and flexible enough to use all types of terrain paved roads, rough or slightly muddy.
4. More durable cheaper price than the thin tires.

Given the various advantages and disadvantages of each type of tire, so mania need to pay attention to the selection of this circular rubber so that would not be troublesome in the future, so adjust the tire choices to the needs of the vehicle.

Benefits of Nitrogen for Tires

Do you know about the types of vehicle tires?. whether the contents of the vehicle tires? air?. have you ever heard that the ban was not only filled with air, then filled in what these tires? What do you want to know?. The air around us is composed of approximately 21% of gas Oxygen, Nitrogen gas 78%, and the rest are other gases., Yang was pumped into the tires of vehicles are also air that contains as above.
Accordingly, because the size of the molecule, the oxygen gas is more easily “leak” out of the tires so the tires to make the pressure decreases. One of the human effort is to pump some air with a higher content of nitrogen into the tires, the intention is to maintain air pressure in the tires to remain stable.
Use of Nitrogen in the tires of vehicles are also intended to prevent or reduce the expansion of air in the tires due to the heat that comes from “hard work” tires. Like on an airplane tire, or a racing car tires always spin faster speeds. Previously, racing vehicle tires are often found to be broken because it can not withstand high temperatures expands.
But based on some user experience with the content of nitrogen tires, it was found that for use in ordinary (in town), it contains nitrogen tires will make the tire to be “cool” and reduce the flexibility of rubber tires, so it easy to “crack” and rupture.
There are also many other benefits for example, Nitrogen gas filled tires will reduce the process of oxidation and rust on the wheels.
Use of Nitrogen in tires, are distinguished from nipple green light, so as to fill the air, will soon be seen whether the vehicle owner to allow filling the tires with regular air, or had to go to a special workshop that provides Notrogen gas.
Try to observe whether your vehicle tires containing normal air or nitrogen? And tell me how it feels to drive a vehicle with tires containing this nitrogen.
