Inflation Pressure: The best performance of tyres can only be achieved when the tyre is inflated to the designated pressure based on the load per tyre. “Under inflation” or “Over inflation” on the tyre tend to impact tyre life, vehicle handling and safety. This can cause heat buildup/tyre temperature and thus loss of tyre life, premature tyre removals, increased rolling resistance and fuel consumption. “Under Inflation” is more common than Over inflation. Tyre users are not always conscious about maintaining or matching tyre pressure to the loads carried. Check the pressures of your tyres, including spare, once in a fortnight and before any long journey or if traveling with a heavy load. Ensure a dirt-free valve cap is always fitted.

Speed:  Excessive high speeds results in increased tyre running temperature. This results in increased tyre wear and separation of components

Road Conditions:Vehicle/tyre operating conditions significantly influence tyre life both in terms of new tyre life and structural durability

Driving habits:Careful driving habits will ensure optimum tyre life. Some of the habits which cause serious damages to tyre and road accidents are Speeding, Speeding over pot holes, stone etc, Quick starts and sudden stops, Riding over road divider and other obstacles, Sharp turns at high speeds, Hitting the road, curbs, objects etc, Running on improperly inflated tyres

Seasonal Effects:Climatic and weather conditions in our country varies widely from region to region. Dry and extremely hot during summer, extreme cold during winter and rains during monsoon. This variation in climatic conditions influence tyre life in terms of mileage and structural durability
