How to maintain the tires of commercial vehicles in winter?

There was a strong wind in many parts of the North last night. In the morning, the weather was getting colder and colder. I couldn't help sighing that winter really came. I believe all car owners know that summer and winter have great killer power for commercial car tires. After all, rain and snow are corrosive, so what should we know about commercial car tires? Next, Xiao Ju will introduce this knowledge to all car owners, hoping to help them!
1. The speed of winter tires is lower than that of all-weather tires
Compared with all-weather tires, winter tires have different formulations, so the material is relatively soft, the tread groove is relatively wider and deeper, which can provide stronger grip and skid resistance on ice and snow roads. Just for driving safety, the design speed of winter tires is lower than that of all-weather tires. Therefore, car owners cannot drive with all-weather tires.
2. Tire pressure inspection
Tire under pressure and over pressure will lead to abnormal tire wear, shorten tire life, increase fuel consumption, and even increase the probability of large tire burst. Therefore, it is recommended that we check the tire pressure once a month to ensure the normal tire pressure.
The standard tire pressure of the tire is 2.2-2.6bar. Too high tire pressure is easy to increase tire wear and may also cause tire burst. Too low tire pressure will increase fuel consumption and bumpiness of RV. Generally speaking, the tire pressure can be slightly lower in summer and slightly higher in winter.
3. Pay attention to the warranty period of tires
Tires are rubber products, so rubber aging will also occur. The shelf life of tire rubber is generally 4-5 years. The aging of tire rubber will accelerate after the shelf life, resulting in the decline of tire performance.
4. Pay attention to four-wheel transposition
If the commercial vehicle has problems such as deviation, heavy steering wheel and tire wear on one side during driving, these phenomena remind the owner of the need to immediately adjust the four-wheel alignment of the RV.
5. Pay attention to whether the tire damage can be repaired
Not all damaged tires can be repaired. We must replace new tires in the following cases:
Nailing on the ceiling and the hole diameter of the nail hole is greater than 6mm
Nailing, cracking or air leakage of shoulder or sidewall
The explosion-proof tire binding pin using sidewall reinforcement technology has been driven for a certain mileage under low tire pressure after air leakage
The common tire pin leaks and has driven a certain mileage close to the tire pressure
6. Pay attention to the tire load
Pay attention to the load supported by your commercial vehicle tires and acceptable load. Within a reasonable range, you will experience better handling performance, braking, fuel economy and normal road wear. Also, pack your business car regularly and take away anything that may weigh on the business car. Ensure that the total weight of the commercial vehicle is not exceeded.
About the knowledge of commercial vehicle tires, I'll introduce it to all car owners here. I hope you can have a deeper understanding of tires after reading this article! It is suggested that car owners should pay more attention to the maintenance of commercial vehicle tires in winter. After all, rain and snow have some effects on commercial vehicle tires.
