Jeep Compass Wheels PPS Jeep

As we know that the tyres of any car are an integral part of the car. They go through a lot during their lifetime such as extreme temperature changes, compressing and expanding millions of times, exposure to the odd situations and an indescribable amount of contact with chemicals & oils on the roads are just some of the things that tyres have to endure. Just check if your Jeep tyres gpt any sidewall cracks. If so just take it your nearest PPS Jeep service center in Bangalore and get an expert advice.

To prolong the life of the tyres, tyre manufacturers use anti-aging chemicals to help prolong the life of the tyre. These chemicals can be most effective while the tyre is used and the rubber is allowed to stretch. The problem arises when a tyre is not used for a long period of time, the rubber doesn’t get a chance to stretch and it may start to crack.

Right tyres can improve your fuel economy!

Regrettably, tyre cracking is inescapable. It will eventually happen to any tyre, but only very late in the tyre’s life if it is being used appropriately. Tyre cracking most usually takes place on the sidewall of the tyre or at the base of the tread grooves, and not all cracking is the source for instantaneous alarm.

It may become dangerous!

In most of the cases, cracking occurs on the surface and relatively superficial. However, there can also be a more menacing type of cracking which goes deep into the inner part of your tyre, reducing its integrity. Cracks that go into the inner, or structural, part of your tyre escalate the chance of a blowout. That risk is greater than before when you are driving at higher speeds.

How long tyres should last?

Tyres with sidewall cracking also have a reduced ability to manage intense increases in load when taking corners. When you turn your car, the outside of the car becomes overburdened as the weight transfers away from the corner. So you should keep a check on your tyres as they need to be able to handle these sudden changes.

If the cracks on your tyres are deep it definitely can be dangerous, but if you find any kind of cracks on your tyres it’s best to get a professional to check them out.

When do you have to check for tyre cracking?

If you are driving your car daily, chances are you will have to replace your tyres due to tyre wear before you see any signs of serious cracking. It’s the tyres on vehicles such as that campervan you use once every two years. If you have that weekend sports car but don’t get the time to drive, you certainly need to be more concerned about. Tyre cracking is more likely to happen when they are sitting stationary for a long time, especially if they are outdoors and exposed to the elements.
