Ukubhekisisa Ukuguga KweTire

Onyakeni ogcwele izindaba, kungenzeka ukuthi uphuthelwe isimemezelo sethayi laphesheya kwezilwandle kuleli hlobo: ukushayela ngamasondo amadala manje kuyicala lobugebengu e-UK. Lo mthetho bawuthule ngoJulayi, bavala wonke amathayi aneminyaka engu-10 ubudala. Lolu shintsho lwenzeka ngemva komkhankaso weminyaka eminingi oholwa nguFrances Molloy, umama owashonelwa indodana yakhe engozini yokuguga kwesondo.

Imizamo yokusungula imithetho neziqondiso mayelana neminyaka yokukhathala e-US iyaqhubeka, kodwa akwaziwa ukuthi le mithetho izomiswa nini (noma uma). Kunalokho, imithetho yendawo yokuphepha kwamasondo isekelwe ngokuyinhloko ekunyatheleni kwesondo. Kodwa-ke, amathayi amadala angaba yingozi enkulu kwezokuphepha, ngisho noma enonyathela oluwugqinsi. Nakhu ukubhekisisa iminyaka yamasondo nokuthi ungahlala kanjani uphephile emgwaqeni.  

Mangakanani amathayi ami? Umhlahlandlela wokunquma iminyaka yamasondo akho

Amathayi amakwe nge-Tire Identification Number (TIN), elandelela ulwazi lokukhiqiza, okuhlanganisa nesonto eliqondile lonyaka elakhiwe ngalo. Lokhu kwaziswa kunyatheliswa ngokuqondile ohlangothini lwesondo ngalinye. Ukuze uyithole, hlola ngokucophelela udonga oluseceleni lwesondo. Kungase kudingeke ukuthi usebenzise ithoshi njengoba lezi zinombolo zingase zihlangane nerabha. Uma uthola i-TIN yakho, kungase kubonakale kuwukulandelana kwezinombolo nezinhlamvu eziyinkimbinkimbi, kodwa empeleni kulula ukukuhlukanisa:

• IPHUZU: Ikhodi yebhasi ngayinye iqala ngokuthi DOT yoMnyango Wezokuthutha.
• Ikhodi yefekthri yamasondo: Okulandelayo uzobona uhlamvu nenombolo. Lena ikhodi yokuhlonza yemboni lapho isondo lakho lenziwe khona.
• Usayizi wesondo: Enye inombolo kanye nohlamvu kuzobonisa ubukhulu besondo lakho.
• Umkhiqizi: Izinhlamvu ezimbili noma ezintathu ezilandelayo zakha ikhodi yomkhiqizi wamasondo.
• Iminyaka yeTire: Ekupheleni kwe-TIN yakho, uzobona uchungechunge lwamadijithi amane. Lena iminyaka yamasondo akho. Amadijithi amabili okuqala abonisa isonto lonyaka, kanti amadijithi amabili esibili abonisa unyaka wokukhiqiza. 

Isibonelo, uma i-TIN yakho iphela ngo-4918, amathayi akho akhiqizwa ngoDisemba 2018 futhi manje aneminyaka emibili ubudala. 

Yini inkinga ngamasondo amadala?

Amathayi amadala ngokuvamile angabukeka futhi azizwe enjengamasha, ngakho yini ewenza angaphephile? Lolu wushintsho ekwakhekeni kwamakhemikhali ngokusebenzisa inqubo ebizwa ngokuthi ukuwohloka kwe-thermooxidative. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, umoya-mpilo ngokwemvelo uhlangana nerabha, iyenze iqine, yome, futhi iqhekeke. Lapho irabha engaphakathi kwamasondo akho yomile futhi iqinile, ingakhululeka emabhandeni ensimbi angaphansi kwesondo lakho. Lokhu kungaholela ekuqhumeni kwamathayi, ukukhumula amasondo nezinye izingozi ezinkulu zokuphepha. 

Ukuhlukana kwamasondo kuyaye kube nzima ukukubona, yingakho abashayeli abaningi bengazi ukuthi banenkinga yokuguga kwamathayi baze bahluleke ukulawula imoto yabo. Ukugibela amathayi amadala nakho kungabangela ukuphazamiseka kodonga oluseceleni, ukuhlukana kwezinyawo (lapho kuphuma khona izingcezu ezinkulu zokunyathela), nokunyathela amabhamuza. 

Ngaphezu kweminyaka yobudala yenjoloba, ukuwohloka kwe-thermal-oxidative kusheshiswa ukushisa. Amazwe athola amazinga aphezulu okushisa nawo avame ukuba namazinga aphezulu okuguga kwamasondo. Ngenxa yokuthi ukushayela okusheshayo nakho kukhiqiza ukushisa, ukushayela njalo ngesivinini esiphezulu nakho kungasheshisa inqubo yokuguga kwamasondo.

Ngo-2008, i-National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Consumer Advisory yabika amakhulu okufa nokulimala kwezimoto okubangelwa amathayi aqhumayo amadala kuneminyaka engu-5. Ezinye izifundo nedatha ye-NHTSA ibonisa ukuthi lezi zinombolo zikhula zibe izinkulungwane njalo ngonyaka. 

Amasondo kufanele ashintshwe eneminyaka emingaki?

Ngaphandle kwezimo ezingaphandle, amathayi afakazelwe ukuthi amelana ne-oxidation phakathi neminyaka yokuqala emi-5 yokukhiqiza. Yingakho abakhiqizi bezimoto abaningi abanjengoFord noNissan bencoma ukuthi kushintshwe amathayi eminyakeni engu-6 ngemuva kosuku lwazo lokwakhiwa - kungakhathaliseki ukuthi isondo lakho lijule kangakanani. Kodwa-ke, njengoba ubona ocwaningweni lwe-NHTSA ngenhla, amathayi weminyaka emi-5 nawo angabangela izingozi. Ukushintshwa kwamasondo njalo ngemva kweminyaka emi-5 kuqinisekisa izindinganiso zokuphepha eziphelele kakhulu.
