How to Evaluate Our Set of Tyres

How to Evaluate Our Set of Tyres
Check the tread dept
First of all, you need to assess the tread of all your tyres and make sure they still have enough tread
left. Remember that less tread means less traction and grip. The penny test is an easy way to
measure your tyre’s tread depth. Just place the penny in the tread. If the head is evident, it means
that you need to get a new set of tyres as soon as possible to avoid any road accident.
Check the air pressure.
Anyone can measure the pressure in a tyre, you need to buy a specialised pressure gauge, or borrow
one at any guel station, and ensure that your Continental Tyres Shardlow are correctly inflated. If
more air is required, then fill them as needed. Always inspect and fill your tyres after waiting at least
four hours after use or after they are cool enough. Never check the pressure when your tyres are
hot.
Check your tyres age and condition
Besides taking care of the inflation pressure and the tread depth, you also need to check that your
Tyres Shardlow are free of any damage that can affect its overall performance. Try to spot any cuts,
punctures, bulges, scrapes, cracks, or bumps in the sidewalls and the tread. If you notice anything
suspicious, it is recommended that professional mechanics review the issues more closely.
Also, it is essential to know how old your tyres are. Based on how often you drive every year, the
tread can last for many years, however, simply because your tread is not damaged or worn down
does not imply that you do not have to replace your tyres. Continental, following business standards,
suggests that all tyres should be removed after ten years of use.

If you want to know your Continental Tyres Shardlow age, you only need to find the DOT printing on
the tread. You will see a four-digit number. First two digits indicate the week, last two show the
year.
Basic Vehicle Safety Check
Evaluate your car’s status
Check the windshield wipers and be sure all are functioning correctly. Always make sure your fuel
tank is full before hitting the road.
Check all its fluids, especially oil. After fuel, oil is the essential liquid in your car, and it usually gets
dirty and worn throughout its lifetime. Frequently oil changes can help to keep the engine clean and
also avoid potentially damaging effects that polluted oil can cause. If you wish to boost your engine
performance, never skimp on this vital lubricant.
Not performing or avoiding oil changes, going long periods without new oil, and exceeding mileage
can accelerate wear and tear on vital parts that help keep your vehicle running smoothly and
ultimately lead to engine breakdown.
Do not forget to change your transmission fluid and coolant once a month as they can seriously
affect your vehicle's handling and performance. Just as the oil has essential additives, the coolant
has some special additives that help prevent boiling, corrosion, and freezing. If these fluids are dirty
or half full, it can cause serious accidents.
These are some crucial recommendations to keep your vehicle running smooth and more extended.
If you try to comply with all your car’s recommended servicing schedule, you will be able to save
your vehicle in perfect condition and reduce the chance of expensive repairs along the way. Check
your car’s manual for more information on how to preserve your vehicle better and Continental
