Tips to keep your Car Tyres Healthy


Alignment and Balancing

Car tyres are among the items which undergo high wear and tear during the life of the car. They are normally recommended for replacement every 40,000 kms. But the rate of wear and tear can be reduced by proper alignment and balancing of tyres.

One of the key reasons for tyre wear and tear is due to faulty Alignment & Balancing of tyres. Few tips to identify whether your tyres need Alignment and Balancing are:

  1. Car Pulling to Left or Right: Drive the car in slow speed (around 40 km/hr) and keep steering wheel centred and straight. Leave the steering wheel. If the car is pulling to either sides (left or right) and is not going straight even on smooth surface, then the car requires alignment.
  1. Steering Wheel Not Straight: Drive the car in slow speed (around 40 km/hr) and keep going straight. Leave the steering wheel. If the car is going straight, but the steering wheel is not centred then the car requires alignment.
  1. Uneven Wear & Tear of Tyres: Have a look at the tyres of your car. In case the tyres are worn out unevenly across the surface (say heavy wear and tear at the edges, but is relatively good at the centre), they there is a need for alignment and balancing.
  1. Steering wheel not returning to straight position: When you take a turn and the steering wheel does not come back to centre, then there are issues with alignment.
  1. Vibrations in car at higher speeds: if you can feel the vibrations in your car at higher speeds, it means you need to get your tyres balanced.

It is advisable that you visit and service centre and get your tyres checked. It is advisable to get the alignment balancing of your tyres done every 6 months to ensure long life of tyres.
