How to Check the Quality of a Brand New Tire Before Purchase?

Getting a new tire is serious business when it comes to safety on the road. New low quality tires can also increase your risk, especially when it comes to poor grip or easy punctures. Sailston Tire, a tire manufacturer, educates consumers on how to evaluate the quality of a new tire before making a purchase to ensure they do not buy low quality tires. The following suggestions will assist you to evaluate the quality of a new tire. 

Look for Defects on the Tire Surface  

The first thing to do when checking a new tire is to look closely at the tire's surface. Quality new tires do not have large, visible defects. Elements to look for and evaluate, in addition to surface cracks, bulges, and scratches, and rubber build up, are uneven wear and lack of a smooth and uniform surface. There are problems on the production line, and the rubber texture also needs to be evaluated. The texture of a quality tire will be consistent and clear to ensure wear and grip. Sailston Tire brand new tires are surface defect free which are the results of strict quality checks prior to leaving the factory.

Checking The Brand New Tire’s Marking Info 

When assessing the quality of brand new tires, the marking information provides vital details. For each brand new tire, standard markings must include the production date, tire size, load index, and speed rating. Among these, the production date is critical. A brand new tire stored for over 3 years, even if unused, may show signs of aging. Ensure the markings are clear and complete; if not, the brand new tire may be counterfeit or of poor quality. For example, Sailston Tire’s brand new tire markings are clear and robust, providing easy verification for customers.

Examine the Tire’s New Tread Design and Its Hardness

Both the new tire’s tread design and the hardness are important to the tire’s performance. When looking at a tire's tread pattern, see if it’s deep and evenly spaced. New tires featuring deep and well spaced patterns provide better drainage and performance in avoiding skids. To determine if a tire’s tread pattern is deep enough, you can use the national standard to gauge whether the tire is acceptable. To check a tire’s hardness, you can either press down on the tire or use a tire hardness tester. The hardness of a new tire has to be, to some extent, the moderate. If a tire is too hard, it will provide a poor ride and a tire that is too soft will wear more quickly. Sailston Tire creates their tread patterns based on scientific principles and they hardness their tires to tight controls to provide the best performance.

Examine the Internal Structure of the Brand New Tire

It's not easy to directly observe how the internal structure of a brand new tire looks; however, some of the details can give you an idea. Start by looking at the tire sidewall. A good quality brand new tire will have a thick and tough sidewall to withstand external impact. You should be able to gently pinch the sidewall to see if you can feel some toughness. Next, look at how the tire bead and the sidewall connect to one another. There should be a tight, smooth connection without gaps. If it looks loose or uneven, it suggests that the internal structure of the brand new tire might be poorly designed. Sailston Tire makes sure the internal structure of the brand new tire uses high strength materials, designed to ensure firmness and long-lasting durability.

Consider the brand and the after sales service when trying to find the quality of a brand new tire. Reliable brands, like Sailston Tire, have advanced production methods and strict quality control. Reliable brands also provide prompt after sales service. If a defect is found in a brand new tire during the warranty period, the customer will get prompt service. Remember to ask the seller about after sales service and keep the purchase invoice. It is best to avoid new brand tires from less known brands, as the quality and after sales service will likely be insufficient.
