How to get on the road and how to avoid a flat tire hitting the road?

We know that a flat tire is a very dangerous thing. A little carelessness will lead to a major traffic accident, and there are many reasons for puncture. For example, driving on the road often by mistake will cause very serious damage to our wheels and greatly increase the chance of puncture.

What harm will road teeth bring to cars?

Curb, also called shoulder, is the area where we often see the intersection of sidewalk and road. The first and most intuitive point is that it will hurt our car tires.

When the kerb is squeezed, the tire will be seriously deformed, and at this time, the tire cord, an important part of it, will break under excessive extrusion and stretching, which will lead to tire bulging and increase the hidden danger of tire puncture. At the same time, when the wheel is driving on the road, it is easy to scratch the hub, which affects the appearance and brings security risks.

In addition, frequent and wrong teeth on the road will also cause great damage to the chassis, suspension and shock absorber of the car. If the owner miscalculates the height difference between the curb and the chassis, it will cause the chassis to drag the bottom and even scratch important parts like the oil pan. Parking across the road for a long time is also easy to cause uneven stress on the suspension, leading to abnormal wear.

What problems should I pay attention to when getting on and off?

After reading the above hazards, we actually know that we should not go on the road if we can't, but many times we are "powerless". Facing the increasingly congested roads and scarce parking spaces in the city, we often have to go on the road, so at this time we should learn the precautions when getting on and off.

First, before driving along the roadside, we need to determine the ground distance between the chassis and it. If the shoulders are visually higher than the chassis, then everyone should give up directly; If the shoulder is lower than the chassis, you need to check whether the gap exceeds 50 mm, because the car will still shake up and down when moving. If the ground clearance is small at this time, it is easy to be hit to the bottom.

Secondly, try to keep it vertical to avoid the tire side pressing the shoulder. It is the best way for two tire treads to face shoulders at the same time, which can reduce the concentration point of pressure and increase the overall contact area. Secondly, the sidewall of the tire will be thinner and more fragile than the tread, and it is more likely to hurt the tire cord and scratch the wheel hub when it is squeezed by the side.

If the vehicle can't face the shoulder at that time, it is also recommended that you take more directions, increase the angle between the tire and the shoulder as much as possible, increase the contact area, and try to let the rear wheel get on the bus first, because for most family cars, the structure around the front wheel is more complicated than the rear wheel, and the damage to the steering gear and transmission shaft will be relatively small.

In addition, take your time, not too fast. Many people like to speed up when they are on the road, thinking that they can rush up, but this practice often hurts tires, suspensions and shock absorbers the most. Remember, when you get on the shoulder, you must not be too fast, you should crawl slowly. If you can't climb up, you can find some solid things like bricks around to cushion it.

Finally, when you get off the road, try to get off the tires one by one. This is also considered from the perspective of protecting the chassis. After all, if two wheels get off at the same time, a vehicle with a lower chassis is likely to hit the chassis due to vibration. At the same time, it is also necessary to remember that the speed should not be too fast, and it is also necessary to slow down.
