MenuTyre maintenance
| This is where you learn all about tyre maintenance. It is important to periodically check and maintain your tyres. For this purpose it is good to learn more about wheel alignment, changing of tyres, balancing, the tread wear and other important aspects of car tyre maintenance. Are you aware of the fact that unbalanced wheels can cause vibrations at certain speeds? Or that the correct tyre pressure can save fuel, that your tyres would last much longer, the road performance is better and that you can avoid accidents in this way? Fulda would like to tell you more about tyre maintenance for each type of tyre, from vehicle outlining to tyre repairing. Here you can read everything you should know about tyre maintenance! |
Vehicle Alignment
|
Make sure your vehicle is properly aligned. Unaligned wheels will fight the natural motion of the vehicle causing steering problems, driver fatigue, and premature and irregular tyre wear. If you notice uneven tread wear, this could be due to a misalignment and must be serviced by a professional. |
 |
Tyre balancing
|
Make sure your tyres are balanced when they are mounted on wheels for the first time or when they are remounted after repair. Unbalanced tyres cause vibration, which can lead to driver fatigue and premature, irregular tyre wear as well as unnecessary wear to your vehicle’s suspension. |
 |
Tyre Inflation
|
It is essential to periodically check and carry out maintenance on your tyres. And especially to check the inflation of your tyres. Incorrect inflation can cause abnormal, excessive wear and tear, which in turn can cause tyre overheating, fuel overuse or even such a danger as a tyre blow-out. |
 |
Checking tyre tread
|
We recommend you to check your tyre tread regularly to find out whether one of your tyres needs to be replaced or not. A tyre with a tread of 1.6 mm or less could not give you the same level of performance than before and thus is increasing the risk of accidents... |
 |
Tyre rotation
| Find out the proper rotation for your tyres. While many people are capable of rotating their own tyres, it is quick, easy and secure to let a professional do it for you. Your vehicle's owner's manual will specify the proper rotation pattern and schedule for your vehicle. If a specific schedule is not indicated, it is a good rule of thumb to rotate your tyres every 8,000 to 10,000 kilometers |  |
Tyre repair
|
In case your tyre has lost all or most of its pressure you should stop your car immediately and fit your spare tyre. Then go directly to your tyre dealer to check if your damaged tyre can be repaired. |
