It is also to pay attention to the level of wheel wear. It was done in order to reduce cabin noise levels.
6. If possible, use nitrogen wind to make it more durable tire life. Because the boiling point of nitrogen is very low so the tires are not easy to heat. In comparison, when the wind always with nitrogen through the streets in a hot area, the usual wind increased wind pressure 5 psi, while the nitrogen remained normal wind.
7. These also determine the wear rate of the tire. Tires are passing character smooth asphalt or road, would make a better level of tire wear. Because when the tires often clash, will cause bumps that make the relatively short life of the tire.
