Top tips on how to increase the lifespan of your tyres

tyres-for-carWe’ve got some great top tips to help ensure your tyres last for as long as possible.
What you should do is increase the life of your current tyres:

Keep your tyres pressurised: Tyre pressure can affect the quality of your driving experience as well as how long your tyres can last. We recommend you get your tyre pressure checked at least once a month.

Balance your wheels: Wheels should be balanced regularly; one way to ensure you do this is by rotating the wheels when you change your car’s oil.

Avoid potholes: Potholes can easily damage your tyres and alloy wheels, especially if driven over at speed. It’s a good idea to select high quality tyres and avoid potholes altogether if you can.

Look at the tread wear: Keep on track of wheel alignment is a good way to assess the tread wear of your tyres – keep them legal! One way to look at tread way is by inserting a coin through the wear bars. If the coin’s head is visible through the bar, it’s time to change the tyres.

Avoid harsh weather exposure: Weather can cause your tyres to perish. Icy winter weather and summer heat can be detrimental to the health of your tyres.

With these top tips, you can keep your tyres lasting for longer so you can get more value from the rims that you have on the wheels.

Diamond Cutting Alloy Wheels at Your Local West London Alloy Wheel Repair Centre

diamond-cut-alloy-wheel-repair-machineDiamond Alloys has a reputation for offering customers in West London high quality alloy wheel refurbishment services which include Diamond Cutting, Powder Coat Refurbishment and Customisation.

Our technicians are highly skilled and trained in the Diamond Cutting process which means each alloy wheel receives the attention it needs to ensure the finish is as good as new. Whether it’s a small scuff, dent, or chip, our Diamond Cut machine pinpoints exactly where the damage is and how much cutting is required for the alloy to look brand new again.

diamond-cut-alloy-wheel-repairThe Diamond Cutting process is extremely precise; a finish which cannot be done by hand. The Diamond Cutting machine uses laser technology to remove damage you can’t see by eye. Once the data has been processed by the machine, the Diamond Cutting starts by slowly and gradually coming closer and closer to the alloy to cut off an incredibly thin layer of the alloy. It then moves back and goes ahead and repeats the procedure to ensure no damage is missed.

The Diamond Cut alloy wheel machine spins the rim at a very high speed with a rotary cylinder that holds the alloy in place. On the end of the machine, an incredibly precise sharp blade has an electric mechanism beneath it for the machine to slide in and out smoothly, assuring the alloy wheel is not damaged by the high speed cutting of the blade.

Whether you are a consumer looking to get a new look for your alloy wheels or a bodyshop repair center or car dealer ship needing an alloy wheel repair company to service their vehicles then use Diamond Alloys. We make sure alloy wheels don’t leave our workshop until they look perfect.
