Quite often we hear about the minuses that studded tires have, however, when driving on ice, which often flies on the roads in winter, it is virtually impossible to do without spikes. As practice shows, studded tires make it possible to stay much earlier on slippery coating after pressing the brake pedal, and also give the car with better handling, thereby excluding drifts in complex areas of the road, for example, on turns. But there is one problem - such tires possessing metal inserts installed at the factory are consistent with a considerable cost, which to some extent limits the possibility of their acquisition. An alternative is an independent spinning of tires, which makes it possible to significantly reduce costs, and also independently predetermine the characteristics of the wheels. To understand how reliable are reliable and whether they meet the requirements that are declared to them, consider the sheep process in more detail.

Hiss the wheel which rubber you can hiss, winter or summer and why

It is worthwhile to know that there is an exclusively winter tires, which has a high density, which is sufficient to hold products from metal. It is better to select tires that have already in the main configuration have special holes. for mounting spikes - This option will be the most durable and reliable. It is necessary to carefully check that the nests for the misinterplication form a certain picture and are located evenly - otherwise the likelihood of self-made preparation of wheels, which reduces their safety and reliability.

Hiss the wheel why you can only hiss a new rubber

It is important to remember that independent rose is carried out exclusively on new tires, since with a large wear of rubber in the broken seats inserts from the metal will not hold on.

Undoubtedly, you can make a spike and on ordinary tires devoid of deepening, but there is a risk of damageing the product as well before its absolute unusability. It is also worth noting that the holes for the spikes are created only with the help of expensive equipment, namely, a special drill with a flexible adjustment of the rotational speed of the tubular hollow drill and spindle. In case of subsequent work, different equipment for tire misses can be used, the type of which depends on your priorities and needs.

Insert spikes into the tire, ways to install spikes

1. Fully manual. Dignity is the availability of each consumer, minus is a large complexity of obsess.
   
2. Semi-automatic. The speed of work is much higher, but it should be carefully traced the correctness of the selected position of each individual spike.
3. Fully automatic. Spikes, while driving under great pressure. Advantages - Reducing the complexity of this event and excellent fixation strength, disadvantages - high cost of equipment.
   

In any case, the choice is yours, however, is irrational to acquire an expensive set of pneumatic equipment for one vehicle - it will be useful if several cars are in the family. In other cases, experts are advised to dwell on a semi-automatic method.

Preparatory work, how to prepare a wheel to Sipovka

In any case, at the beginning of the tire is treated with soap solution, allowing you to clean it as much as possible and facilitating the relief of the occasion of spikes into the nest. This can be done by a household sponge, but it is better to use a pneumatic sprayer that allows the solution to penetrate each hole. The hips of winter tires is made as careful as possible - you need to monitor so that no metal product is twisted. If it is impossible to achieve a smooth installation, the spikes are removed using pliers. At the same time, they should be swinging in various sides. Uneven installation using a pneumatic pistol does not rarely lead to the rupture of the planting hole. In this case, it is simply missing, because after a few kilometers the spike will be lost.

Schip bus, spike device, thorough spikes

For spikes, tires should be selected spikes not only by variety of material from which the product is made, but also on the shape of a carbide tip, which protrudes out of rubber - traditional round items have mediocre efficiency and have minimal cost. Four and multifaceted spikes are most popular in European Nordic countries, allowing to gain confidence in the safety of riding even in the most difficult road conditions. In recent years, popularity is gaining t. "Diamond spikes", which are named so not due to the use of expensive material, and as a result of a complex shape of the tip, which mimics the structure of the crystal.

A lot of motorists also ask questions about the required amount of flanges for spikes. According to this parameter, the selection is made extremely simple - in the case of an active ride, give preference to two-inflated models, since they are much more stable when driving at high speed, as well as when maulver. Simplate models are much cheaper and able to slow down the wear of the landing deepening, but with active movement they are faster.

Spike bus, which spikes are suitable for domestic roads

It is necessary to approach the purchase of spikes with maximum seriousness. It is worth noting that for our latitudes and poor-quality domestic roads it is desirable to select products from iron-containing alloys, since aluminum spikes can be deformed even after the first passage through country roads with large bumps and ughabs.

What does the law talk about the number of spikes on the meter

Select the spikes follows both in size - it is necessary to take into account that the limit of the protrusion of the metal tip over the rubber is 1.3 millimeters. Therefore, it is desirable to buy spikes in the trading point where the tires themselves, because without screwing into the wheel one of them, it is unrealistic to measure the actual size of the protruding head. In addition, it is not worth buying too many metal inserts - very soon in Russia, as in all European countries, the requirements for the maximum number of spikes will begin to act, which is 60 units on the trafficphone meter. For rubber R13, this indicator will be 90 units, and for R16 - 150.

Repair of spikes on winter tires do it yourself

After tire misses, it is necessary to carefully examine them for the presence of overwhelmed inserts and excessive protruding tips. The first is extracted with the help of pliers, and spikes that do not correspond to the regulatory dimensions, with the help of a thin metal plate and the hammer are driven inside. The plate is applied to the spike to evenly distribute the impact energy.

Do not forget that tires must be at rest for some time so that the tires make the threads as close as possible, which increases the strength of their fixation. After mounting on the vehicle, the studded rubber should be ripened, for which the first 300-500 kilometers need to pass without active starts, sharp maneuvers and speeds above 80 kilometers per hour. You should not worry if in the process of running several spikes is lost - it will not have a serious impact on the efficiency of the wheels.

Tips Prof.

It is not necessary to acquire the factory sets of studded tires - to form such wheels can be independently. But only new tires with proper preparation should be applied and select the appropriate spikes that have the required tip parameters. In addition, also pay attention to the equipment for the mistakes - if you do not want to spend a lot of money on it, get ready for a substantial laboriousness of work.
