I know I haven’t checked mine in a while, to be fair. I also can’t remember the last time I pumped air into my tyres, let alone checking the tyre pressure. It wasn’t until my colleague Adrian pointed out that the ride of my car felt odd, and recommended that I checked my tyre pressure just to be sure. I swung by a nearby petrol station to get my tyre pressure checked, and yes, all four of my tyres had really low pressure, one of them as low as 23 PSI. Yup, 23 PSI. That is much lower than the man

Tyres. It's a longtime topic. Yes, other parts exist, yes they are equally important but tyres are the only parts connecting you to the road. Which is why it's very important to make the right choices, especially in a market that's absolutely flooded with subpar-quality tyres for not much cheaper, really. Recommendations Not all tyres are equal, so in this guide we'll list five main tyre categories and recommend one tyre for each size. The prices are taken from several online tyre shops. For thi

They’re the only part connecting you to the road yet so easily forgotten. Tyres are one of the most important parts of your car, so take care of them through these three simple steps and they’ll take care of you. 1. Don’t forget to inflate! It’s a simple tip but one of the most important things you’ll need to know - inflate your tyres! It’s super simple - just know the basics of your tyre size and follow the correct pressure guide, usually located on the driver’s door pillar. It’s just a matter

I don’t know about you, but tyres are a fascinating subject to me. I spend hours researching on what sort of tyre should I go for next. Full-on performance rubber? Or maybe I should give my back and ears a break and opt for a more comfortable option. One thing is for sure, I will be splashing my cash for one from a manufacturer of repute. And thankfully I’m not alone on that opinion. The responses from our dear fans and readers on WapCar Forum topic of cheap vs premium tyres were very encouragin

Ukuran rim kecil sering diletakkan pada kereta yang lebih mesra bajet bukan hanya untuk membezakan antara varian model tetapi juga memberikan kos yang lebih rendah apabila menggantikan tayar.

Your car ownership experience isn’t complete without having at least one flat tyre incident. For this, manufacturers have given us full-sized spares, space-savers, run-flat tyres, and even tyre repair kits. What you have in your car has been pre-determined by the manufacturer. The question is, which is the best? The answer depends on the type of driver you are, the type of commute you do, and where you live. Each option offers its own pros and cons. 1.

Anda mesti pernah ke kedai tayar bukan? Sekiranya anda ke kedai tayar untuk sebarang urusan berkenaan tayar mahupun masalah pemanduan, anda mungkin perasan bahawa terdapat kod pada roda sama ada pada tayar atau rim itu sendiri. Secara umumnya, tayar memberikan bacaan kod yang jelas tetapi untuk rim, ia terletak di bahagian dalam. Kod ini menjelaskan spesifikasi yang terdapat pada rim tersebut. Selain itu, kod ini berfungsi sebagai rujukan apabila anda hendak mengganti atau mengubah suai ‘kasut’

And it is good to see that for many of our readers, it isn’t news to them. This time around let’s outline a suggestion that may make people care more about the tyres they buy.

You will mostly be shown some materials or be told that it is better to fill your tyres with pure nitrogen rather than regular air. You will also be told that nitrogen-filled tyres will save you fuel, prolong the lifespan of your tyre, require lesser maintenance, and are better for

How do you check your tyre wear? Universally, we are taught to hold a coin within the grove of the tyre to check the depth of the treads. It took quite a bit of digging before I found the Malaysian coin version of the test. If all the alphabets of the words Bank Negara Malaysia on your 10 cent coin is on show when you hold the coin to the tread, it means it’s time to change your tyres. But did you not know that there is an even better fool proof test you can carry out without the use of coins? A

Ada satu trend yang kami perasan sejak dari sedekad lalu dalam industri automotif: hampir setiap kereta yang dihasilkan dan keluar terus dari kilang dipasang dengan tayar yang agak terlalu besar untuk kereta tersebut. Kenapa, ya? Jika difikirkan tanpa berhusnudzon, mungkin trend ini terjadi kerana pembuat kereta mahu anda berbelanja lebih untuk tayar dan rim lebih besar.
