Tire maintenance is an often overlooked aspect of car safety as car owners often focus on various exterior aspects and functionality of the car such as waxing and grooming, car engine & radiator system etc. The importance of properly maintaining your car tires cannot be overemphasized as tires are the only contacts between your car and the ground surface. Any damage done to the tires could result in unstable handling and potentially dangerous especially when the vehicle is going at high speed. There are 4 major functions of tires and they are as follows:
* To support the weight of your vehicle - a average car weighs between 1.4 to 1.8 tons which is equivalent to the weight of about 30 people. The air and the build up pressure in your tire play the important role of supporting the weight of the car plus the driver and passengers on board.
* To absorb road shocks - the tires, together with the car's suspension system act as shock absorbents to reduce the effect of bumpy roads felt by the driver and the passengers in the car.
* To transmit traction and braking forces - being the only contact between your car and the road, the rough surface of your tires provide traction when your car is moving off and also, provide the necessary braking when your car is coming to a stop.
* To change and maintain the direction of travel - the tires turn according to the turning of the steering wheels, thus changing the direction of travel.
It is important to maintain your tires for a few main reasons:
1. Tire are the only contact between your car and the road. The proper pressure level will ensure that it provide the right level of shock absorbent, required traction and braking, provide proper directional steering and lastly, support the weight of the car and the passengers within the car. 2. Whether you like it or not, your tire loses pressure either on a continual basis due to passage of time or whenever your tires hit a hard object such as a curb or went pass a high hump.
3. Tires can experience uneven wear and tear among the tires due to weight variation, over or under inflated tire will also result in uneven wear and tear on each individual tire.
After knowing why the tires are important to your car's safe handling and your safety, here's some tips on help you in knowing how to properly maintain your tires:
* Know your tire pressure rating - this information is usually provided and can be found in the car's user manual or in the glove box or at the car's door jamb.
* Keep to the required tire pressure, by checking your tire pressure on a weekly or monthly interval and when the tire is cold - which basically refer to one that has not been driven on for at least three hours. The reason behind is that tires that are 'hot' after some traveling will demonstrate higher pressure thus produce inaccurate result.
* Tire rotation - the main reason for tire rotation is to ensure even wear and tear among the four tires. Tires of the car can wear at different rate due to the uneven weight distribution of the car or passengers in the car (over a period of time). It is the responsibility of you, the vehicle owner, to know that the vehicle tires need to be rotated and highlight to your mechanics when you want your tires to be rotated. The direction of rotation is usually provided by your car manufacturer, if otherwise, your car mechanic will usually know how to go about rotating the tires for the given the brand and type of tires that you are using. Make sure that proper wheel alignment is maintained after each rotation.
* Visual inspection of tread wear - from time to time, you should check how well worn are you tires as worn tires can be dangerous as it only provide diminishing friction with the road and thus affect the optimal brake distance. Some tires come with marks to let you know when your tire needs to be changed, so look out for these marks and take action accordingly when it is time to change your tires. Another alternative to know the tread depth is to use a penny with a Lincoln head. Place the Lincoln's head upside down and insert into the tread. When the top of Lincoln's head is seen (which means the tread is shallow), it is time to replace the tires.
* Before going for a long trip, make sure that you check and maintain your tire pressure to give you maximum control.
* Lastly, even if you prefer to do most of the checks by yourself, it is always good to have a reliable professional mechanic to check your car and your car tires as part of your regular maintenance schedule.
In conclusion, tires that are properly maintained will have the following advantages: * A proper tire pressure will guard against avoidable crashes or breakdowns. * Reduce frictional losses and therefore increase tire life. * Enhance fuel efficiency * Optimal vehicle handling, and lastly,* Help to keep your car in better condition and therefore increase the value of your car.
Take care of your car, and it will serve you well. Enjoy safe journeys.

Proper Procedures in Mounting and Demounting New Tires and Used Truck Tires in Tampa FL
Although the mounting and demounting of new tires and used truck tires have to be done only by specially trained Tampa FL personnel under proper supervision and using proper equipment, you as a truck owner in should be familiar with the proper procedures for this undertaking. After all, your tires are a hefty investment since either new tires or used truck tires are not cheap tires, whether in Tampa FL or elsewhere in the United States.
Demounting New Tires and Used Truck Tires
Before removing the truck’s tire and wheel assembly, any tire should be completely deflated through the removal of the valve core.
Tube-type tires should be placed on the floor with the side ring up. Proper tools should be used to pry the bead away from the lock ring. Rim parts should be disassembled carefully, avoiding any damage to the tire, tube, flap and rim. The wheel should then be turned over. Proper tools should be used again to pry off the second bead. The rim should then be removed from the tire.
For tubeless tires, a bead breaking tool should be used to loosen both sides of the tire. A vegetable-based lubricant should be used to lubricate both beads of the tire. The tire and rim should be placed on the floor with the wide side down. Proper tire irons should then be used to slowly and carefully work away the tire from the rim.
Mounting New Tires and Used Truck Tires
Before mounting, the wheel and rim should be cleaned and inspected. Check for any damages such as cracked, bent or broken components. These should be repaired by welding, brazing or reworking. Remember that a rim should never be welded while a tire is mounted on it.
Check the tire thoroughly. Damaged tires should never be mounted. New tires should be accompanied by new valves, cores, caps, and O-rings. Proper rim size should be observed, with properly matched rim components.
When mounting tube-type tires, the inside should be thoroughly cleaned and dried without the tube and flap. Make sure to remove all moisture, dirt and foreign materials. Tubes and flaps of the proper size and type should then be installed in the tire. Never use undersized or oversized tubes or flaps, nor used tubes or flaps. Radial tires, for example, should have radial tubes and radial flaps. The tube should be placed inside the tire. The flap should then be installed, properly centered. The tube should be inflated slightly so it will shape out. A vegetable-based lubricant should then be used to lubricate the beads, the rim side of the flap and the tube base. Be careful not to over lubricate. The inside of the tire should always remain dry.
The tire, tube and flap assembly should be mounted on the rim. The rim parts should be assembled, ensuring the use of proper components and a proper fit.
Inflate the tire while encased in the approved safety cage or its equivalent, using an extension hose and clip-on chuck. While the inflation is going on, never stand over the tire. When the tire is inflated, never tap with a mallet to try to seat the rim components.
For tubeless tires, the rim and wheel should be cleaned first and the valve seals and stem should be replaced. The beads and rim flange should then be lubricated. Proper tubeless tire tools should be used so that the tire could be worked over the rim flanges. The tire should then be mounted over the valve side.
A safety cage should also be used when inflating the tire. Make sure not to exceed the maximum inflation pressure indicated on the sidewall of the tire and/or rim.
New tires and used truck tires alike will give as much savings as cheap tires with proper care and safety awareness. The first step is to ensure that proper procedures are observed in the mounting and demounting of your new tires or used truck tires by properly trained and qualified specialists in Tampa FL.
