A tire is a ring shaped elastic rubber product that is grounded and mounted on various vehicles or machinery. The utility model is usually arranged on the metal rim, can support the vehicle body, buffer the external impact, realize the contact with the road surface, and guarantee the driving performance of the vehicle. Tires are often used in complex and demanding conditions. They are subjected to various deformations, loads, forces and high and low temperatures while traveling. Therefore, they must have high load-carrying performance, traction performance and cushioning performance. It also requires high wear resistance and flex resistance, as well as low rolling resistance and heat build-up. Half of the world's rubber consumption is used in tire production, showing the capacity of tires to consume rubber.
It is recommended to see if the rubber of the tire is aging. For example, the tread pattern, the bottom of the groove, or the edge of the tire, there are countless small cracks. It is necessary to change the tire in time. No matter whether it is a new tyre or an old tire, it is not recommended to use it again.Tyres should always be stored in a cool, dry, clean, dark indoor environment.

The outer surface of the tire has a different pattern, commonly used are: ordinary tire tread patterns, including transverse and longitudinal patterns of the two patterns, which is used in tire radial tire lateral pattern is used in the vertical pattern. The vertical pattern is suitable for cars and trucks, the transverse pattern is only suitable for truck; mixed pattern, pattern characteristic is coarse, longitudinal serrated or pipe shaped pattern, on both sides of horizontal off-road patterns, applicable to all types of cars; this pattern, is characterized by concave deep and wide, strong grip, suitable for off-road vehicles and mine car.
You can't use the tires for more than four years. If you don't have any cracks and clear patterns, you can continue to use them.
