Tyres

What do tyres do?

In short, tyres have four main functions:

• supporting your car: the four tyres and the air inside them support the weight of your car.
• absorbing road shocks: the air or nitrogen in the tyres act as a spring and this dramatically increases your comfort.
• transmitting traction and braking forces: thanks to the tyres, you can drive... and stop.
• steering: changing the tyre angle steers the vehicle.

You should not underestimate the importance of good tyres. They are the contact between the vehicle and the road. Each tyre touches the road surface on an area that is approximately the size of a postcard.

Good tyres are first of all your guarantee for a safe and comfortable ride. Poor tyres can reduce the performance of your car, increase your stopping distance and raise the risk of skidding. Furthermore, underinflated or worn tyres increase fuel consumption.

Make sure you keep them in good condition and seek advice when you have a question.At Top star auto care we will be glad to help you.
