General Tire Questions

How often should I rotate my tires?

Tires should typically be rotated every 6,000 to 8,000 miles, but refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual for specific recommendations.

How often should I check my tire pressure?

You should check your tire pressure at least once a month and before long trips. It’s best to check when the tires are cold, as pressure can increase with heat from driving.

What is the difference between all-season and winter tires?

All-season tires are designed for a variety of conditions including dry, wet, and light snow. Winter tires have deeper treads and softer rubber compounds designed for better traction in severe winter conditions.

How can I tell if my tire is under-inflated?

Under-inflated tires may appear visibly flatter, cause uneven tire wear, or produce a squishy or wobbly feel when driving. A tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) can also alert you when tires are under-inflated.

What should I do if I have a flat tire?

If you experience a flat tire, pull over safely to the side of the road. Use your spare tire or call for roadside assistance to have the flat tire repaired or replaced.

Can I drive on a spare tire long-term?

Spare tires, especially temporary or “donut” spares, are not designed for long-term use. They are meant for short-term use to get you to a repair facility.

What causes tire blowouts?

Tire blowouts can be caused by factors such as over-inflation, under-inflation, impact damage (e.g., hitting a pothole), or worn-out tires.

How do I know if my tires need balancing?

If you experience vibration in the steering wheel or the seat, it may indicate that your tires are out of balance. A professional can check and balance your tires as needed.

Are tire warranties worth it?

Tire warranties can provide peace of mind and coverage for certain issues like defects or premature wear. Review the terms carefully to understand what is covered and for how long.

How can I improve my tire’s lifespan?

To improve tire lifespan, maintain proper tire pressure, get regular wheel alignments, rotate your tires regularly, and avoid driving on rough or hazardous surfaces.

What is a tire’s treadwear rating?

The treadwear rating is a number provided by the tire manufacturer that indicates the expected lifespan of the tire’s tread. A higher number generally means a longer-lasting tire.

Self-repairing Tires

What are self-healing tires?

Self-healing tires are a type of tire designed to automatically seal minor punctures or damage, helping to prevent air loss and extend the tire’s lifespan.Beitu tires have a self-healing function, so you don’t need to replace them even if they are nailed.

How do self-healing tires work?

1.Specialized Inner Lining:
Self-healing tires typically have a special inner lining made of a polymer or gel-like substance. This material is designed to fill and seal small punctures or holes that occur in the tire tread.

2.Rubber Compounds:
The tread of self-healing tires is often made with advanced rubber compounds that include self-sealing properties. When a small puncture occurs, the rubber compound can flow and seal the hole.

3.Sealant Layers:
Some self-healing tires are equipped with an internal layer of sealant that remains fluid and can close small punctures when they occur. This sealant can be similar to the liquid tire sealants used in traditional tires but is integrated into the tire itself.

What are the advantages of self-healing tires?

1.Improved Safety:
By sealing minor punctures automatically, self-healing tires help reduce the risk of sudden air loss and blowouts, contributing to safer driving.

2.Reduced Maintenance:
They can reduce the need for frequent tire repairs or replacements, as small punctures are addressed without the need for immediate professional intervention.

3.Extended Tire Life:
By preventing minor damage from escalating, self-healing tires can potentially extend their usable lifespan.

4.Convenience:
Drivers can avoid the hassle of dealing with small punctures and the inconvenience of roadside repairs or visits to a tire shop.
