  1. Why tyre rotation ?

    Why tyre rotation ?

    Categories: Tyres

    Each tire on your cars support a different amount of weight, this unequal weight distribution causes our tires to wear at different rates. By rotating your tires, you can extend their useful life.

    • Rotation preserves the balanced handling and traction of the tyres.
    • Rotation will even out tyre wear.
    • Rotation can provide performance advantages, like wet handling, braking etc.
    Different type tires have different cornering force characteristics and spring rates, so to obtain the best performance from tires and the vehicle, you should mount the same type and size tires suitable for the vehicle specific to the tire mounting position by following few rules.

    What is the ideal frequency of tyre rotation? Pattern of rotations.
    Rotation is recommended every 10000kms or even earlier at 5000kms depending on vehicle one is driving.

    Wheel balancing can be defined as, the uniform distribution of mass about an axis of rotation, where the center of gravity is in the same location as the center of rotation. In other words, a balanced tire is when the mass of the tire, is uniformly distributed around the axle, or no heavy spots in the tire.

    Why do my tires need balancing?
    As we all drive our cars on beautiful roads of UAE sometimes we feel the vehicle body or the steer Wheel Vibrate and shake at certain speeds and all is well as the speed differs, the first line of defense is to balance the tire and wheel assembly.

    Improper tire wheel balance may cause:
    • Premature worn tires
    • Damage to suspension & steering parts
    • Unsafe steering, handling & traction
    • Reduction in braking effectiveness
    • Reduction in ride comfort and
    • Reduction in fuel economy

    RFID is Radio Frequency identification. It helps the buyer to identify the product information by exchanging the data with the reader using RF signals.

    In UAE, ESMA (The Emirates Authority for Standardization and Metrology) has reaffirmed that each tyre for sale/Display in UAE must have RFID tags. These tags provided by ESMA to all legitimate importers of tyres will have full specifications like brand name, country of origin, tyre type, temperature rating, traction rating and treadwear rating.  The tag incorporates an RFID chip inlay containing a code that is stored in ESMA database and are linked to the tyre details that are printed in the tag itself.

    It helps the customer to choose genuine products provided with the legitimate information by scanning the bar code or either the QR code labelled on the RFID.

    A healthy car battery is one of the essential parts of a functional car. It needs regular service and maintenance to perform well over time. Knowing how it works, its purpose, how to spot a bad car battery, what time it needs a replacement, etc., can help as the last thing one would want is a dead car battery in the middle of a road.

     

    Introduction to a car battery

    A normal car battery is a rechargeable battery that is used to start (crank) a car along with various other functions. It is one of the car parts that does not get enough attention, but it does a lot of things and plays a vital role in ensuring a car remains functional & running. In technical terms, “a battery is a device that translates chemical energy into electricity.” All batteries are composed of cells that store up chemical energy which can be converted to electricity on demand. Most of these batteries bas

    There are three types of puncture repair commonly used around the globe for tubeless tyres.

    • Internal repair using a patch
    • Internal repair using Minicombi (plug)
    • External repair using a tyre string

    Internal repair using a patch

    Once the puncture hole is identified, the same is covered by an adhesive patch from inside.

    Hence these patches are adhesive, certain factors like heat & moisture reduces its life and are less reliable when compared to Minicombi repairs

    Internal repair using Minicombi (plug)

    This method is done by inserting and sealing the puncture hole using a Minicombi

    Flat spots are mostly caused by long term storage of the vehicle. If a car stands for a long time, the contact patch of the tyre can flatten slightly where it is in contact with the ground area.

    There are two types of flat spots

    Temporary Flat spots occurs if the vehicle has been parked for few days or weeks similar to situations like you have been away for a vacation or parked the vehicle at airport. And you may notice some slight vibrations during the initial riding hours of your journey. These kind of flat spots will disappear when the tyres have reached their operational temperature and regained their original shape.

    Semi-Permanent flat spots occurs when the vehicle is stored for a longer duration
