“Avtovzglyad” on how to protect winter car tires from studs falling out
Experts from the automotive portal Avtovzglyad shared tips on how to extend the life of winter tires and prevent premature studs from falling out. Oddly enough, the key factor is the correct tire pressure. It must strictly comply with the manufacturer’s recommendations for a specific car model. Incorrect pressure affects the contact area of the tire with the road and the distribution of loads, which leads to rapid wear and loose studs.
It is also important to monitor the serviceability of the suspension and wheel alignment. This will help avoid the occurrence of increased loads during movement, which negatively affect the condition of the studded tires. You should not often drive on broken roads and rails – such conditions contribute to loosening of the studs due to vibration loads during movement.
In general, to extend the life of winter tires, you need to avoid sudden maneuvers and slipping when starting, do not turn the steering wheel in place, and promptly change tires from winter to summer. The optimal time for replacement is when the average air temperature reaches +7 degrees. By following these simple recommendations, you can save a lot on buying new tires and protect yourself from unpleasant surprises on the road.
