Tires

It was high time for me to change my tires both funding and time was a factor with so many things taking place. Also not like the tyre shops are open after 7pm? I wonder If I would mane a ton of money, if I open a tyre shop after working hours. Having known how babysiew had the tyre thingy in her not so recent blog, I made the effort to go and change it before any more serious repercussion could have taken place.

This was its current condition of wear and tear. Horrible!!! Vadai should have been more responsible

The new Tyres on!!!

So Inconjunction with that here is a brief extract on tyre ( my one call chamber wear woh!!)

Illustrations And Explanation For Tyre Wear

Under Inflation

Under-inflation has caused this tyre to wear on the outer edges of the tread, leaving the central tread area far less worn. The inner-liner can also degrade.

Over Inflation

Over-inflation has resulted in the central tread area being forced into contact with the road causing rapid or crown wear.

Mis-Alignment

A typical example of the wear pattern caused by front wheel misalignment, (Toe-in or toe-out). The edge of the tread is "feathered" and worn progressively from one side.

Camber Wear

Excessive wheel camber has caused sloping wear on the outer edge of the tread on one shoulder of this tyre.

Illegal Wear

This tyre has been used well after reaching the legal minimum pattern depth of 1.6mm across the central ¾ of the tread, going around the complete circumference of the tyre.
