How our Driving Schools Sheffield make our tyres last longer

Tyres are vital part of your car, without them you wouldn't be able to move so surely you want to look after them? Driving schools Sheffield teach people how to prolong their tyres life and make they are an all around happier person. Abide by these rules and your tyres will last you a lot longer:

1. Always check the tyre pressure of your car. Having more inflated tyres allows them to roll easier, it saves fuel as well as your tyres. If you’re not sure how much your tyres need to be inflated up to just look in the car's manual and it will tell you all you need to know in there.
2. Be careful not to over inflate your tyres because this can cause the middle of your tyres to wear down quickly. So always refer to the manual and don't guess how much air your tyres need.
3. It is even more important to check your tyre pressure when it gets colder because the change in temperature can cause the pressure to drop.
4. When you replace a tyre it doesn't have to be the same make as the rest of your tyres, although some people like it to be. Check with a professional about which would be the best type of tyre for your car to give you the best miles per gallon. Every driving school in Sheffield does this so they get the most out of their tyre and fuel.
5. Rotation of your tyres is also a good idea, this is so that your tyres wear evenly and this should be done about twice a year. Some people set certain times of the year to do this to help them remember to do it. Check your car's manual to check how often your tyres should be rotated.
6. If you have a problem where your car is pulling slightly to one side it could be that your car's tracking has been knocked out by hitting a curb or a pothole in the road and your car wheels no longer correspond to your steering wheel. This can also happen when your tyre pressure is to low or there is a fault with your steering column. If you don't get this sorted out then it can cause your tyres to wear down very quickly. Our Driving Schools always make sure that we get this sorted as soon as possible to avoid excessive wear.
7. Don't drive around with bald tyres! Every tyre on your car that is not up to the legal limit of 1.6 mm across 3/4 of the breath of the tyres is 3 points on your licence. You are also not allowed any cuts or bulges in the wall of the tyre. Get pulled over with all 4 tyres not up to scratch and you could face a driving ban.

Follow these tyre tips and you will get a full life from your tyres and avoid getting a driving ban. All driving schools make sure they follow these tips and they get the most from their tyres.
