The Tyre Fitting advice most people get wrong ! With disastrous results ! | 4K

I recently went to with and found the tire fitting suggestions the majority of people get incorrect might end in devastating result. We likewise had a fantastic presentation about simply how essential appropriate tire pressures are.

    Used to be obsessed with tyres for some reason. I was more worried about rolling resistance, so I checked my pressures weekly. Tyres were cheap, so I changed them often.
    Only NOW has it occurred to be that I spent much of my driving experience in desert climates.
    Anyway, now that I only ride pedal bikes, I check pressure more than once a week.

    This video has just come at the right time for me as I have a puncture on my left front tyre which cannot be repaired as it is too close to the edge. So that is two pilot sport 4s at £230 pounds each and will be fitted to the rear

    As a 20 year tyre fitter I’d encourage everyone to check their tyre pressures once a week but also inspect the wear of each tyre. Thread depth gauges are readily available & don’t be afraid to ask a fitter to look over your tyres if you’re in any way worried. You can save a lot on fuel costs over a year & a regular check can stop you getting into a nasty avoidable accident! Tyres are your only contact with the road, don’t skip on them!!!

      Good point re the only contact with the road. I know that not everyone can afford premium brands, but I stretch to these with the best ratings.

      Tyre temp is another factor.

      Indeed! As young man the alloys on my AX GT sometimes leaked a lot of air. It happened to a rear one once. I hit a pot hole on the straight in the wet at 60mph and it send me into massive oversteer on the other side of the road! I had to gather it up quickly as a car was coming the other way. Phew! All due to that low pressure in one rear tyre! Modern cars are great now, using the ABS speed sensor, they can work out the pressure, give a readout and sound a warning.

    Interesting vid and makes sense re: new tyres on the rear. I know some people who rotate tyres so back onto front etc, although not possible with some cars and offset sizes.
    I was on Thruxton circuit skid pan in my MX5 the other week. Great fun and teaches you a lot about handling and characteristics of car handling.

    Ped, great video. Over here in the USA, most reputable tire retailers won’t sell a single tire anymore. They will only sell pairs or all 4, and as you found out, the new ones MUST go on the rear. Your test validated all of the rules that the tire sellers and manufacturers have preached for years. Good work on your part, and thanks to Michelin.

      So what if you bought a brand new set of tyres recently but then suffer a puncture? Do you have to buy a full set?

      Some % of wear differential is always going to be tolerable.
      Porsche suggest 30% is acceptable on their vehicles for road use.

      New tyres can’t go on the rear if you need new fronts, and you have staggered fitment.

    My local independent garage owner told me years ago about putting new tyres on the rear. I’ve been a customer of his for 18 years. Zero bullshit, good advice and reasonable prices.

    Over the years I have changed my mind on ratation of tyres. Used to rotate the 5 tyres and check pressures when refueling. Yes proper cars with a full sized spare, what fool changed that concept. Now days being a bit lazy ratation is 4 tyres and pressure checks still at refueling. Unfortunately, being retired this happens about every month which could be a problem. It also means that the spare is the original tyre and is only used if there is puncture and is replaced when the puncture has been repaired. The point, no point but have noticed the inside rear is the trouble spot for picking up nails or screws, not suprisingly. Ware patten are pretty even so tyre changes are 4 at a time, just have save up a bit more. Thank you for the lessen but I do wonder about off road use, I would tend to put the new tyres on the driving wheels. Would be interesting to hear what the manufacturers would say. Cheers and thanks once again.

    Before I start, I agree with the tyre pressure / rolling resistance (I am an engineer). However, the test itself is difficult to reproduce accurately. 1/2 mph difference equates to 10% longer to stop at 10mph. The normal way to do the test is at 3 different speeds, and curve fit. Aero is proportional to v^2, and rr is constant. 1/2 mph difference at 60mph is about 1.6% difference. OK, this is a nit pick – but it was a good demo. Really enjoyed this one. More……(please)

    I have a reminder in my phone calendar to check the tyres at the start of every month. I also check them visually every time I go to the car via a walk-a-round and if I am going on more than just a local journey I check the treads and pressures.

    I run Michelin Cross Climate 2’s on an VW EV (swapped out unevenly worn oem Contnientals when I got the car secondhand) and I run the pressures 2 psi above the recommended. The economy of the car exceeds manufacturers numbers and there is as far as I can tell no detrimental effect on handling or braking.

    Decent, well maintained rubber may well save your life one day.

    Thanks for this useful information. For many years I have driven front wheel drive cars and logic has told me that the best tyres should be on the front as these wheels handle the steering, acceleration and most of the braking.
    Your video has certainly given me food for thought!
    Excellent advice on tyre pressures, I check regularly and from new my 7 year old Prius has averaged 65 mpg and and some journeys on A & B roads I get 70 to 75 mpg…..combination of correct tyre pressures, Bridgestone tyres and a light right foot.
