Amathayi alungele ukuhamba?
Sinamaholide angaphambi kwethu, kanye nawo amaholide alindelwe isikhathi eside, uhambo olude nolufushane, uhambo lomndeni. Lapho uhlela uhambo ngemoto, kufanele unakekele isimo salo sobuchwepheshe, imishini futhi, ngaphezu kwakho konke, amathayi, lapho ukuphepha nokushayela ukunethezeka kuncike khona.
Asikho isidingo sokuqinisekisa noma ngubani ukuthi ukuphepha kufanelekile ukutshala imali kukho. Ikakhulukazi ngesikhathi samaholidi lapho 
ohambweni olude, emazingeni okushisa aphezulu, nomndeni kanye nemithwalo. Ngaphambi kohambo oluhleliwe ngemoto, kuhle ukuvakashela isazi sokuxilonga, uhlole izinto ezidingekayo zemoto (i-first aid kit, i-vesti ekhanyayo, i-jack, isethi yezihluthulelo nentambo yokudonsa), kodwa okokuqala, nakekela isimo samasondo. “Amathayi anomthwalo wemfanelo wokugcina imoto ixhumene nomgwaqo, aqinisekisa ukusebenza kahle kwe-ABS kanye nezinhlelo zokulawula ukudonsa,” kusho u-Arthur Pochtovy, umphathi we-ITR SA, umsabalalisi wamasondo aseJapan Yokohama. “Ngakho-ke izinga lazo linomthelela omkhulu ekuphepheni kokushayela kanjalo nasekudleni kukaphethiloli, okuyinto esemqoka uma uvakashele eholidini.”
Ikhabethe lamasondo ebusika
Ukuhamba ezinyangeni zasehlobo, lapho izinga lokushisa lomoya liphezulu futhi i-pavement ifudumele, kuhlukile ekuhambeni ekwindla noma ebusika. Ngakho-ke kufanelekile ukuba namathayi ehlobo ngamasondo esikhundleni samasondo ajwayelekile noma asebusika (abashayeli abaningi bavame ukukhohlwa ukuwashintsha ngemva kobusika). Ngokusho kochwepheshe be-Yokohama, amathayi asebusika ayingozi futhi awananzuzo ehlobo. Amathayi asebusika enziwe ohlotsheni oluhlukile lwenhlanganisela eshisa kakhulu lapho evezwe ukushisa, okuholela ekugugeni okusheshayo nokungalingani.
Izinkomba ezilungile zomthwalo nesivinini
Amathayi alungile akusho nje ubukhulu obufanele, kodwa futhi nesivinini esilungile nomthamo wokulayisha. Eyokuqala inquma isivinini esikhulu esivunyelwe ukusithuthukisa ngenkathi sishayela, eyesibili inquma umthamo ovumelekile ovumelekile emotweni. Lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu uma sithatha amabhayisikili, i-roof rack eyengeziwe noma imithwalo esindayo eholidini.
Isimo sobuchwepheshe somvikeli
Ukugqokwa kwamathayi akunakugwenywa, ngakho-ke ukuze uzizwe uphephile, hlola isimo sawo samanje, uhlole izinga lokuguga kwamasondo kanye nomonakalo ongenzeka. Uma i-groove yokunyathela ingaphansi kuka-3 mm, kunconywa ukuthi kushintshwe amathayi. Uma ukujula kwayo kungaphansi kuka-1,6 mm, ngokwemithethonqubo, ukushintshwa kwamasondo kuyimpoqo. Amathayi kufanele ahlolwe ukuze kubonakale umonakalo ongase ube khona njengamaqhubu, amabhamuza noma imihuzuko. Ukuqhekeka emaceleni kwesondo kuyingozi kakhulu. Uma kwenzeka, isondo kufanele lishintshwe ngokushesha.
Ukucindezelwa kweTire
Kufanele futhi uhlole umfutho wesondo lakho ngaphambi kokushayela. Lokhu kuthinta ngqo ukuphepha kokushayela kanye nokusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli. Ingcindezi ephansi kakhulu inyusa ukumelana nokuginqika, okudinga amandla enjini engeziwe ukuhambisa imoto. Lokhu kubangela ukusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli okuphezulu. Umphumela wengcindezi ephansi kakhulu wukwandisa ibanga lokuma kwemoto. Isici esingase sibonise umfutho ophansi wesondo ukudlidliza okuncane kwesiteringi.
Uma kunjalo, hlola ingcindezi nge-compressor eziteshini zikaphethiloli. Inani lokucindezela elifanele imoto ethile liboniswa encwadini yemoto.
