When Should car tyres be changed?

When the tread depth goes below the threshold of 1.6 mm, the tyres must be replaced. Even if the tread isn't worn out, a tyre should be replaced every 5 to 6 years. This is done to ensure the vehicle's safety.

However, tyres and treads should be examined significantly more frequently to determine whether they need to be replaced sooner or later.

What are the steps to changing a car tyre?

Changing tyres necessitates the use of a specialized tool. For removing and installing new tyres, specialists often utilize a tyre changer. It has a mounting arm and a bead breaker, and changing a tyre is nearly impossible without one of them. This is called tyre mounting

Before a new tyre can be fitted to the rim, the old one must be removed. This initial stage is completed by hand, and the mounting machine is then employed.

After that, the automobile is raised up so that the wheel may be removed from the axle. The air is then expelled from the tyre. Unscrew the tyre valve to accomplish this. The mounting machine will come next, allowing the bead breaker to separate the tyre wall from the rim.

The bead breaker is then positioned on the tyre and rim before being forced down on. The tyre is then spun once again, and the procedure is repeated. This step ensures that the tyre bead, or inner ring of the rubber, is thoroughly pushed over the rim hump.

The rim is next secured into the mounting machine, which takes the balancing weights from the rim and then positions the tyre bead over the mounting arm using the mounting lever.

The mounting mechanism is designed to revolve, and the tyre is automatically removed from the rim. After performing the successful tyre mounting procedure, the tyres must be balanced.

Once the tyres have been fitted, it may be essential to install small balancing weights on the rim: these correct for any potential tyre imbalance, preventing steering wheel vibrations and increasing mileage and driving comfort. After mounting, the tyre should be adjusted to ensure that it runs "roundly."
