A lot of technology and engineering actually goes into your tires, much more than you might imagine at first. Let us take a moment today to have a look at the basic design of the tires you will find at the tire shop near you. With each of these parts of your tires, we will also look at what they are made of.
Your tires will typically consist of:
There are a lot of different rubbers and synthetic polymers that go into your tires, along with fillers and curing agents. But all of it comes together to make a strong, reliable tire that is designed to keep you safe on the road.
Although there are numerous types of tires for you to choose from at the tire shop near you, some of the most common include:
If you are not sure which type of tire you need for your vehicle, then we are happy to help.
There are a couple of ways to know when it is time for new tires on your Toyota. For one thing, get into the habit of looking at your tires regularly and inspecting them for punctures, excessive wearing, or other damage. If your tires are damaged in any visible way, then it is time to replace them.
You should also check the tread on your tires every so often to make sure it is still in good shape and deep enough. Use a penny or quarter and insert it into the tread with the President’s head facing down toward the tire. If you cannot see the top of his head, then your tread is still deep enough. If you can see the top of the President’s head, then your tread is getting worn. Using a quarter gives you more time to replace your tires; if you use a penny and see the top of Lincoln’s head, then you need to replace your tires as soon as possible.
Finally, the rubber in your tires will break down over time, through no fault of your own. Even if you treat your tires well and drive carefully – even if you do not drive at all and have a car with tires on it sitting in a garage for years, the rubber will still break down. After five years, really keep an eye on the condition of your tires. If your tires are 10 years old or older, then you need to replace them right away.
As the rubber wears down or is damaged through daily use, your tires become less safe to drive on. Just by driving your vehicle, you place a lot of weight and strain on your tires. Any damage or excessive wear to them weakens your tires and creates the very real possibility of a blowout while you are driving. Even if nothing quite that disastrous occurs, tires that are worn offer a less pleasant ride and can negatively impact the fuel efficiency of your vehicle.
