In the contemporary era of continuous development, where many new technologies have been taking place and many old ones got threatened and disappeared. Tires are one of those possessions which have always been unalterable since (1885_1886) when the 1st automobile was invented. Although, it will only be threatened in the future with the real implementation of an idea of “flying cars” as the prominence of tires would be lessened. Tires need to be handled with care and should be kept in check to work for a longer period.
Every tire manufacturing company issues a warranty at the time of purchase. If the tire stops working properly within the warranted duration without completing the estimated mileage limit, the company has the liability to compensate it by calculating the remaining average mileage of the old tire and discounting that percentage in the purchase of new tire, however, this can only be done if the buyer has the proof of purchase and warranty saved otherwise he would have to buy a new one with full payment. For example, if a tire’s estimated mileage is 60,000 and has only covered 30,000 miles. In this case, 30,000 miles would be liable to be paid or discounted.
Types of warranty:
Producers of tires give a no of warranties to the purchaser making sure that the safety of their buyers is their priority and in other words compelling them to keep their mouths shut so that no one could raise a finger on their services.
Road Hazard Warranties
If your tire is run out and the reason is debris on the road or some nail stuck in your tire then this warranty is for you. It varies from the tire to tire and with the policies given by the seller but normally it ranges from $10-$20 per tire. Warranties assure a huge profit to the vendors but it doesn’t mean that we should not buy them. It gives a massive advantage to us as well by giving us a chance to repair it for free and if it can’t be repaired, exchanging it with a new one.
Workmanship and Materials Warranty
In case of any defects on the part of workmanship and material, a warranty that had been given to the purchaser by the vendor could be taken into action.
If the slip appears in the first 2/32nds of an inch of tread, mostly a tire is replaced with a new one charging even a single penny.
Manufacturer Special Warranty
The manufacturer of the tire offers the consumer to take 30 days of trial to see if there is any manufacturing fault in the tire and if he is not satisfied or finds one the producer gives two options; whether to exchange it with a new one or a total refund of payment. The consumer selects it as per his desire.
Causes:
Everything has a certain time limit after which it starts to decline naturally and sometimes there are several reasons behind its damage but once a tire has been damaged it can only worsen. Reasons behind a tire’s malfunctioning could be;
Error in Installation
At the time of installation due to the lack of mechanics competence, a tire can be connected to a vehicle but there could be an error in the attachment which makes the air from the tire lose resulting in an imbalanced tire.
Manufacturing Flaws
A company might have sold it in an inaccurate condition. In this case, if you would already have a warranty you can simply go and give them and yourself a chance to resolve it but if you didn’t receive it at the time of purchase, chances are high that it would become a reason for loss of trust on both sides.
Cheap Quality
Purchasing tires at a low price usually means obtaining a tire of low-quality thinking of saving some money but in the long run, it costs us almost double the money as it raps now and then and is bound to spend money every time.
Prevention
By fulfilling all the following requirements, the working of a tire could be extended and would be prevented from severe damage which could never be repaired.
Good Mechanic
The examiner has to have all the expertise in it. If a mechanic is not an expert, there are no chances of good working even if the tire itself is blameless in quality.
Highest Quality tires
Purchasing tires at a low price usually means obtaining a tire of low-quality thinking of saving some money but in the long run, it costs us almost double the money as it raptures now and then one has to spend money every time.
Regular Inspection
If someone keeps a track of the time of its inspection, the small errors would be resolved every time of examination otherwise would result in a huge error which can’t be resolved and the only option of replacing it with the new tire remains.
Proper Rotation
Rotation of tires on a regular basis makes its life longer as wear spreads evenly on all four tires. Every tire contributes to a specific part of a vehicle. So, to keep all parts of the vehicle in favorable condition, all tires should be rotated often.
Conclusion
Nothing is more worthy than your life. Always research being going to buy tires and do not risk your own or family’s safety just for the sake of saving money.
