DO YOU NOTICE INCREASE IN YOUR FUEL CONSUMPTION LATELY?....HERE ARE 3 WAYS YOUR TYRES MIGHT BE RESPONSIBLE.

 Wondering why you keep spending fortunes on fueling your car lately? Your tyres might be responsible.

Increment in your vehicle's level of fuel consumption will create a deep hole in your pocket. If your vehicle is used for business, that might be affecting your profit margins. 

Many factors can affect a vehicle's fuel efficiency. If after consulting with experts and you keep experiencing same thing the problem might be coming from your tyres.

1. DID YOU CHANGE TO BIGGER TYRES?

Changing the specifications of original equipment that come with a vehicle comes with trade offs. Example, raising your car to achieve higher ground clearance compromises safety and make roll over easy. 

Upsizing your car tyres means changing to bigger wheels/rims. Like 16 to 17 rim.

Upsizing is a technical change to your vehicle that requires a professional help to achieve balance between the old and new set of tyres.

Your engine will need more power to roll the bigger tyres which will be forcing the engine to use more fuel to roll the tyres.

Your car's high level of fuel consumption might be coming from there... Take note.

2. HOW REGULARLY DO YOU CHECK YOUR TYRE INFLATION LEVELS?

Under inflated tyres damage tyres and increase level of rolling resistance which in turn will affect your fuel consumption negatively. 

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the United States reports that every 1 per cent decrease in tyre pressure correlated to a 0.3 deduction in fuel economy. Under inflation of tyre by 10 per cent increase fuel consumption by 2 per cent. Twenty per cent under inflation increases fuel consumption by 4 per cent. 

 

Under inflated tyres might be the reason you spend so much on fuel. Engage in regular checks of your tyre pressure level and take charge of your fuel consumption rate.

3.DID YOU CHANGE YOUR TYRES BRAND LATELY?

Tyres are in different QUALITY CATEGORIES. Brands are not just mere names in tyre industry.

Years of experience, strick adhesion to the industry standards and quality of rubber compounds used in productions distinguish tyre brands.

Changing from premium brands to budget tyres may reflect in your vehicle's level of fuel consumption. Most premium brands, though expensive, have very low rolling resistance.

Installing used tyres can as well increase your fuel consumption rates. Used tyres have been in the service before which might have weakened the carcass and reduce the performance level of the tyres.

That's why investing in brand new tyres will always be a good decision.
