As the only part of the car in contact with the ground, the importance of tires to the safety of the vehicle is self-evident. For a tire, in addition to the crown, belt layer, curtain layer, and inner liner to build a solid internal structure, have you ever thought that the humble valve also plays an important role in driving safety?

In daily use, as car owners, we undoubtedly need to pay special attention to the slow air leakage caused by the inadequate valve sealing. If the slow air leakage phenomenon of the valve is ignored, it will not only increase the tire wear and the fuel consumption of the vehicle, but even cause it the occurrence of a flat tire. From this point of view, the daily regular inspection of the valve must not be ignored.

It is the easiest and most practical way to check air tightness by pouring water to the valve to see if there are bubbles. If a tortoise crack is found on the valve body of the rubber valve, it must be replaced in time. When the metal valve leaks, the “pop” sound will be more obvious, and the owner can also judge whether the valve is leaking. Since the tire pressure of the tire will fluctuate back and forth with the change of temperature, we recommend that the tire pressure be checked every month, and we can check the valve by the way.

In addition to regular inspections, you should also pay attention to whether the valve cap is missing in the daily use of the car, be careful of the scratches that the road shoulder may bring to the valve, and pay attention to whether the technician has marked the yellow dot on the tire wall with the position of the yellow dot on the tire wall when changing the tire. The valve is aligned to make the overall quality of the tire more balanced. (The yellow mark on the sidewall represents the lightest point on the tire lap)
