Tire adjustment is an important maintenance task that helps prolong the life of tires and maintain driving performance. However, not everyone knows exactly when to do this. According to experts, the appropriate time to reverse the tire depends on many factors such as the type of vehicle, driving style and road conditions.
"Normally, manufacturers recommend reversing tires every 10,000 to 12,000 km, or about every 6 months," says auto expert Michael Thom, director of the American Automobile Safety Research Center. However, this distance can change depending on driving habits and vehicle usage conditions." Regular tire adjustment helps distribute the tire's contact force evenly with the road surface, thereby reducing uneven wear and tear and avoiding situations where vehicles lose traction, easily causing accidents.
An important factor when deciding the time to reverse tires is the driving style. Drivers who often travel long distances or have the habit of driving quickly or suddenly will wear out faster and need to repair them sooner. Conversely, if driving mainly in urban areas, where speed and road conditions do not change, tires can last longer.
If you notice any uneven or strange signs of wear and tear, thats when you should check and insert your tire immediately, even before the 10,000 km mark, says Dr. David Green, Director of Traffic Safety Research at the University of California. This is especially important for regular car users.
In short, regularly changing tires is very important to maintain vehicle performance and protect the safety of the driver. Depending on the type of vehicle and driving conditions, drivers should reverse tires at least every 10,000 to 12,000 km. However, if you notice uneven wear or strange signs, you should take the vehicle for inspection and immediately turn the tire.
