Tire Deterioration

When it comes to tires, age is as important as mileage. The degradation of a tire occurs over time, mostly the result of a chemical reaction within the rubber components. That aging process can be accelerated by heat and sunlight. Environmental conditions like exposure to sunlight and coastal climates, as well as poor storage and infrequent use can hasten the aging process.

On the surface, it makes sense that rarely used tires should last indefinitely if they’re properly cared for. However, looks and low miles can be deceiving. The effects of aging may not be visibly detectable. Since there is no standard test to assess the serviceability of a tire, even an inspection performed by an expert may not always reveal the extent of tire deterioration. Vehicle owners are therefore encouraged to have their tires checked after five years of use, then annually thereafter.

There are no hard and fast “expiration dates” on tires, but because rubber begins to crack and deteriorate over time, most experts suggest that eight years is the maximum safe life expectancy of a tire. If you don’t drive your classic at all and it just sits on display, you can get away with keeping the original tires as they’ll hold air. But if you drive the car at all, you need to know how old the tires are.

Poor maintenance is often cited as a cause of failure. While maintenance is important for good wear and safety performance of tires, many other factors contribute to their failure. Tire failures can be caused by a few factors such as under- or over-inflation of tires, overloading of vehicles, road hazards, improper maintenance, structural defects, and improper installation, in addition to tire aging.

Loud or Noisy Tires

Loud or Noisy Tires

Tire noise can just be an annoyance rather than an indicator that something bigger is wrong with your car. When tires rotate, the tread traps air in the pockets of the tread design. Due to the weight of the car, the tread grooves squeeze, which compresses the air. When the pressurized air pops out, it produces noise through hard vibration. Tires also can make noise through their interaction with the surface. Another reason for tire noise is the actual air in the tire itself.

Tire noise is not an issue when these have been professionally checked and cleared by a mechanic: ● Alignment and balance ● Wheel or rim damage ● Struts and shocks ● Wheel bearings

Once they look at your tires they can explain the performance characteristics of each tire and how it fits your vehicle and individual driving characteristics. One of our brands concerns is that we go the extra steps to insure our tires are tested and we are always working on improving this.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System

It is ok if you don’t. It has only been around and on cars built after 2008. TPMS is your cars Tire Pressure Monitoring System. The TPMS symbol is either a cross-section of a tire with an exclamation point in it or an overhead view of a car with all four tires exposed.

The feature is standard on all 2008 and newer models, thanks to the TREAD Act, which Congress enacted in 2000 after rollover incidents involving the Ford Explorer and Firestone tires.

TPMS is a very helpful tool that helps drivers understand the safety of their cars, and tires. There are a variety of considerations from tire companies and automakers, a TPMS warning light isn’t required to come on until the tire is at 25 percent below the manufacturer’s recommended tire pressure. That’s also well below the pressure required for safe driving.

TPMS has two types. An indirect and a direct. Indirect TPMS doesn’t monitor air pressure. but, the indirect TPMS uses the antilock braking system’s wheel-speed sensor to detect that one tire is rotating faster than the other tires. So, there’s a greater chance of error in an indirect TPMS system.

Now, a direct TPMS calculates a tire’s actual pressure. This is usually way more accurate to within 1 PSI. Direct systems use a physical tool, a gauge mounted to the wheel or tire valve. This gauge sends the data to the car’s computer/deck. How the data is interpreted and displayed in the car with a direct TPMS depends on whether it is a low-line or high-line unit.

A high-line sensor is mounted in each of the wheels and displays the individual pressure of each tire. A low-line system only will prompt the low-pressure warning light. It is then up to the driver to figure out which tire is the low one. This type of system is mostly on lesser priced vehicles.

TPMS in summation is a great tool and asset to any driver/owner. For any individual driving in conditions including climate change, rough roads and other harsh. elements on tires, a TPMS can help ensure your drive is as safe as possible.

Plus Sizing Tires

Aesthetically appealing with improved handling and stability!

Plus sizing, in the simplest terms, is when the size of the tire and/or wheel is increased from the original size put on the vehicle by the manufacturer. Plus sizing tires can dramatically change the look and stance of your vehicle and if done correctly no change to the Engine Control Module (ECM) would be required.

Plus sizing for tires and wheels has been popular for more than 40 years when a plus one and plus two fitment was all that was available. Today, plus sizing fundamentals still focus on maintaining the same overall diameter (OD) whenever changing from the original equipment (OE) tire and wheel size to a Plus 1, Plus 2 or Plus 3. A like OD ensures the wheel well, ground clearance, driveline, gearing and speedometer/tachometer readings will not be compromised.

Example above; a 16×6.5 wheel and 205/55R-16 tire. A typical Plus 1 (1″) size would be a 17×7 wheel and a 225/45R-17 and , a Plus 2 (2″) would be 18×8 and 235/40R-18.

Thunderer offers premium passenger tires for ultra-high performance, crossovers and touring applications – click here for more information.

BUT just because it fits does not mean it is a suitable fitment!

It is critical that the plus size tire has the same or greater load index (LI) and speed rating (SR). Inadequate LI may be a root cause for premature tire failures while inadequate SR may lead to reduced handling characteristics such as cornering and braking distance.

“I cannot count the number of communications I have had fielded throughout the years regarding tire failures and/or vehicle accidents and during the investigation found the tire was an incorrect fitment where LI and/or SR were the leading contributor in the claim.” – Brick Oltmann, Manager, QA/QC American Omni.

Plus sizing (with increased OD) in Light Truck, Jeep and SUV applications.

Large changes in overall tire diameter are primarily isolated to the ½ and ¾ ton truck and SUV segment. A larger plus size will alter the accuracy of the speedometer and the tachometer as well as the effectiveness of anti-lock braking system (ABS), traction control and vehicle stability system along with transmission shift points and added wear on OE suspension parts.

Check out Thunderer’s lineup of light truck and SUV tires to accurately plus size your next vehicle.

Newer vehicles with advanced ECM can be reprogrammed to accept a larger diameter tire to ensure the afore mentioned systems function accordingly.

All other vehicles with older ECM’s are not easily adaptable.

Both new and old vehicles still fall susceptible to suspension failures as the heavier tire and wheel assembly of the LT and floatation product will shorten the steering and suspension component life expectancy, likely also voiding the warranty.

Remember, vehicle aesthetics are not the only priority when plus sizing tires!

How To Make My Tires Last Longer

Prolonging your tires starts with proper maintenance. Tires that have been well maintained not only promote longer tread-life, they substantially improve your safety.

● Tire Pressure –

○ Correct tire pressure is essential for reliable handling, effective traction, and optimal tire life. Properly inflated tires will assure that the vehicle’s weight is equally distributed, resulting in even wear. Factors such as temperature change and leaks can affect tire pressure, so it is important to check it often.

● Tire Rotation –

○ Tire rotation is a key factor in assuring even tread wear. Depending on the type of vehicle and your specific tread wear pattern, different types of rotational patterns will be most beneficial. Having your tires rotated by automotive professionals will provide this service as well as the opportunity to detect other issues before them become serious problems.

● Wheel Alignment – ○ Problems resulting from improper wheel alignment include poor vehicle handling and steering, as well as uneven and rapid tread wear. Many factors can affect alignment, including a minor accident, which may not cause visible body damage. Checking your alignment regularly will prevent a host of problems down the road.

Your vehicle manufacturer manual will provide guidelines for proper maintenance. You can count on us to help you take care of your tires and your vehicle and provide expert auto services when you need them.

How Do You Find The Correct PSI Needs For Your Car?

Finding the right amount of PSI (PSI definition: PSI is a unit of pressure expressed in pounds of force per square inch of area. It stands for Pounds per Square Inch) for your tires can sometimes be tricky. You want to make sure this is as accurate as possible.

NEVER inflate your tires to the pressure listed on the tire itself. That number is the maximum pressure the tire can hold, not the recommended pressure for the vehicle.

You MUST go with the PSI recommended for each vehicle specifically.

Overinflation of your tires will give you a bouncy ride and an ill-handling car, while driving on underinflated tires can cause premature wear from increased friction.

To find the correct PSI (Tire Pressure for your vehicle) Locate a yellow sticker in the door-jamb on the driver side, and it is also contained in the owner’s manual. It might call for different pressure levels for the front and the rear tires.
