Choosing The Right Car Tyres
Tyre Queen Ultimate Guide To How To Choose Tyres
Car Tyres, love them or hate them, your car can't run without them and when your car tyres go bald or some say "botak", there is little choice but to change to a new set of tyres which can cost between a few hundred to a few thousand dollars.
This is because when tyres fail on the road, it could lead to severe loss of control of your car. Since changing tyres is an unavoidable necessity, it makes good dollar sense for smart car owners who wish to get more value for your money while still driving safely on the roads.
Importance of Car Tyres
Tyre maintenance is so important but yet so often overlooked. As the only point of contact between the road and your vehicle, tyres largely determine how safe and stable your car is out on the road. Just think that the total surface area of your tyres in contact with the road at any time is not that much larger than the surface of your hand - reason enough to make sure your tyres are in the best condition they can be!.
There are many aspects to consider before terming tyres as safe. The tyres should be well maintained by avoiding misuse or overuse. The conditions of the tyres should also be frequently inspected and corrected if possible before and after driving the vehicle, and also in cases when there is an impact on the tyres, for example, the road curb.
Before hitting the road, checking the condition of the vehicle is one of the responsibilities of the driver. One of the most important checkpoints that should be considered is the condition of your current car tyres.
There are many dangers associated with either the use of the wrong type of tyre or driving with defective ones. However, tyres are usually neglected by car owners and cars running on non-road worthy tyres are known to be one of the main causes of accidents on the road.
Car Tyres : Important Yet So Often Neglected
Most car owners are wise to the fact that they need to keep their vehicle in good running condition. This means getting regular oil changes, making any needed repairs, and running it through the car wash from time to time. Unfortunately, one of the most common part of the car many people neglect to think about are their tyres, the only contact point between the car and the road!
A point to note is that worn out tyres are much easily punctured and very dangerous to drive on!
A point to note is that worn out tyres are much easily punctured and very dangerous to drive on!
Many of us might have heard stories of people who tried to save money by not replacing their car tyres when their tyres are already no longer road worthy. They regret it only when they get into car accidents on the road because of the faulty tyres.
Some major accidents are caused by faulty tyres which are no longer road worthy such as bald tyres or seriously damaged tyres. Hence, it is important to always keep in mind that the 4 car tyres on your car are some of the most important features to ensure safe travel to wherever you are going.
What Is My Tyre Size?
How To Read Your Tyre Sidewall
If you are new to the online tyre buying process, the idea of trying to determine what tyre size you require for your car out of the hundreds of choices, can be quite daunting. Although it may look quite puzzling at first, it will all become very easy to you once you go through this guide which explains what the codes and numbers mean.
The most direct way to find out your current tyre size is to look at the car tyres which are already fitted on your car. The information you need is displayed on the sidewalls (side of the tyre).
In this example, we are going to use the tyre on an Audi Q5 as an example. Upon walking closer to the tyre, we find the information we need and it looks like a mixture of number and alphabets which at first glance, seems complex. With the charts provided in this guide, it will be very easy for you to decode them.
It looks like this:
235/60R18 103W
On the next photo is an example of where to find the information you need and how it looks like in real life. Let us find out first what the 235/60R18 means.
How to Read a Tyre's Basic Specs in 8 Seconds
For most car owners, this is basically most of the information they need to know to choose what tyres to replace. Simple and easy. Let's see how to use this information to choose your new tyres online.
What Is Tyre Load Rating?
Tyres are required to have a Load Rating. This measurement is important as a gauge to the vehicle's performance when it is loaded. It indicates the maximum load carrying ability that your tyre is able to support. Below is a table for easy reference.
In this example, the load rating is 103 and from the table, we can see that it indicates a maximum weight of up to 875kg. Take a look at yours and match it to the table.
The manufacturer determines the load rating based on the weight the tyres are required to support. The correct load rating for your vehicle can be usually be found in the vehicle handbook. If you car is brand new, take a look at the current tyres and see the ratings, if in doubt, you should contact the vehicle manufacturer or dealership to confirm.
It is generally acceptable to use tyres with a higher load rating. However, running on tyres with a lower load rating than your vehicle requires (stated in handbook) can be dangerous as it could increase the chance of tyre failure and render your insurance invalid.
Choosing a Load Rating which is higher than required is generally considered acceptable, but choosing one which is lower than your vehicle needs is not.
What Is Tyre Speed Rating?
Tyres are required to have a Speed Rating as this measurement is important as a gauge to the vehicle's performance when driving at high speeds. Speed ratings indicates the maximum speed that your tyre can handle and could determine the difference in a vehicle’s comfort, wear, cornering ability and braking distance. Below is a table for easy reference.
In this example, the speed rating is W and from the table, we can see that it indicates a maximum speed of up to 270 km/hour. Take a look at yours and match it to the table.
The manufacturer determines the speed rating based on the weight and power of the vehicle. The correct speed rating for your vehicle can be usually be found in the vehicle handbook. If you car is brand new, take a look at the current tyres and see the ratings, if in doubt, you should contact the vehicle manufacturer or dealership to confirm.
It is generally acceptable to use tyres with a higher speed rating. However, running on tyres with a lower speed rating than your vehicle requires (stated in handbook) can be dangerous as it could increase the chance of tyre failure and render your insurance invalid.
If drivers choose a lower speed rated tyre than what their cars should be equipped with, some of the risks faced are that stopping distance increases in critical situations, less smooth and controlled cornering and overall changes in the performance of the car.
When choosing new tyres, many drivers tend to just look up the size of the tyre their car requires. The driver might not realize that each brand, make and model of car would be best fitted to tyres that correspond with the appropriate speed rate.
Tyres of the same size with lower speed ratings are usually cheaper than the right performance tyre. Lower performance tyres usually also have higher treadwear. The choice is usually, a cheaper and longing last tyre compared to getting the right speed rated tyres for their cars. Not using the correct rated tyres may cause the rubber to be heated unevenly, compromising traction and having a higher tyreblowout risk when tackling higher speeds.
What Is The Correct Air Pressure For My Car Tyres?
The correct air pressure for your car tyres should be stated in your vehicle's handbook and are usually also found at the side of your car doors. If you cannot find the specification or in doubt, please contact TyreQueen for assistance.
