Choose The Type of Car Tires According to Your Needs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first tip for choosing car tires is to match the type and designation of tires and your car. The general rule of thumb that is safest, is to use tires with the size and profile as per the car manufacturer&#8217;s recommendation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each vehicle generally has its own default size from the manufacturer. Car manufacturers have carefully calculated the safety factor of the vehicle directly proportional to the type of tire used, consisting of speed rating, number of plies, load index, profile and rim size in accordance with the wheel space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, with the help of calculations from experienced and trained technicians, you can certainly inch up in terms of the size of the tires used, or additional features resulting from the application of the latest technology of the tires themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, make sure to buy car tires that are suitable for the road conditions you usually travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those of you who often pass through smooth paved roads, it is recommended to use Highway Terrain (HT) type tires as this type of tire has a better grip on the asphalt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, on the contrary for those of you who often pass through rocky roads, you should use All Terrain (AT) type tires or Mud Terrain (MT) type tires for those of you who like to go off road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Pattern\"><\/span>2. Pattern<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As a component that is directly in contact with the road, tire grooves and patterns play a big role in determining driving safety and comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you often drive on wet roads or live in an area with high rainfall, for example, our tips for choosing car tires suggest that you choose car tires with a V or directional design that has a higher water mass breaking capacity, reducing the potential for aquaplaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While for bumpy roads, tire designs with rounded grooves can make your car\u2019s performance more comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Check_For_Manufacture_Date\"><\/span>3. Check For Manufacture Date<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Do tires have an expiration date? Well, to put it simply, tires actually do not have an expiration date as long as the storage conditions are met, not flooded with water or gasoline, not exposed to direct sunlight, not stacked or stored with an unbalanced load that deforms the tire construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although some people state that the life expectancy of tires is five years, in reality as long as the rubber or tread compound and the rest of the tire are in good condition, they are still roadworthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only general rule of thumb you can use is when the tire was made. Read the weekly serial number on the outer sidewall. Four numbers indicate the week and year when the tire was manufactured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, 0619 means the tire was made in the 6th week of 2019. Then look at the overall condition of the tire and try to put weight on it in a standing position, if you notice stiffness in any part, avoid using it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>Also Read: &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/reasons-not-to-drive-on-over-inflated-tire\/\">Reasons Not to Drive on Over Inflated Tire<\/a>&#8220;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Look_For_Thickness_of_The_Tire\"><\/span>4. Look For Thickness of The Tire<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at the thickness of car tires is one of the ways to choose good car tires. Many of you might still be confused about where to see the thickness of the tire, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can see the tire thickness from the code on the back of the tire tread size. For example, the tires you use are 185\/55 ring 15 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you look at the number, then the thickness of the tire you are using is the 2 numbers at the back, which is 55.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The number 55 indicates the thickness in mm, which means the tire is 55 mm thick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are confused about determining the size, you can see the size recommendation on the sticker on the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, the tire size instructions are attached near the driver&#8217;s seat along with the recommended air pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Choose_The_Certified_One\"><\/span>5. Choose The Certified One<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing that is also important is to choose the car tire that has been certified to ensure the safety and quality of the said tire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tire that has been certified usually has a better quality, and has undergone a rigorous set of tests to ensure that the tire meets certain standards that apply in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And in Indonesia, this certification is the SNI certification. SNI, which stands for Standar Nasional Indonesia (Indonesian Nation Standard), is a type of product approval that regulates and sets the standard for many if not all of the products and services in Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This standard aims to give us a consumer a peace of mind, knowing that the product that we bought has already been tested, thus is safe to use and\/or consume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And in fact, a car tire is one of many products that is mandatory to be tested and certified with the SNI certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The regulation itself is clearly stated in SNI 0098-2012 about passenger car tires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So there you have it!
