Every day you wake up, go to work or to study, come back home and that sums up your entire day! Its seldom that you go outside, especially in your 4-wheeler to somewhere far away. All this monotony has now become too much and the long postponed road trip with friends seems to be your chance to escape. Your friends have agreed too and you are all set to leave for an exciting weekend. Now imagine that you all are to leave when suddenly your car starts giving problems. Wouldn’t it be such a mood spoiler?
Why then take risk? Make sure you start prepping for a trip with servicing your car so that no matter what, the trip is smooth and secure!
Let us discuss the importance of wheel care before usage of a car for a long journey!
Why do Wheels require extra care?
Wheels require regular care to maintain its original factory look. No matter how much one tries, it is almost impossible to protect the wheels while driving. Typical road dust traps moisture that can cause corrosion over a period of time. Braking fiction causes corrosion of brake dust that can lead to pitting of the wheel’s finish.
We also tend to wash our cars and the wheels with household cleaning agents but these materials are quite harsh. Using abrasive materials to wash your wheels would damage its finish. If you really want to wash your car wheels at home, a mild dish soap and water would just be enough. One should never use scouring pads and avoid usage of brittle brushes on wheels.
One should also make sure to clean the wheels only when they have cooled down completely. Using cold water on hot wheels can be harmful!
Wheel balancing is the most crucial aspect in obtaining a long service span for the wheels.
With daily usage of a car, wheels tend to lose its balance over time. Manufacturing asymmetric wheels that increases with daily use, driving car at high speed and tyre deflation are some of the reasons for imbalance of wheels. This cannot be prevented but if the imbalance of weight is left unchecked for a long time, it can lead to other major problems like vibrations in the wheel as well as more fuel consumption.
There is sadly no solution to know when to get your wheels checked for balancing. You can thereby play it safe and get your wheels checked after every 10,000km to 15,000km. Tyres need extra care to maintain contact with the road as well as better handling of the car. As tires handle almost quarter of the entire weight of a car, paying attention to the wheels is crucial.

Tyre rotation is an important aspect in improving performance of tyres and also extending their life. Each wheel in different position faces different types of wears. For example, the front tyres experiences more friction for turning, braking, etc. When one opts for periodic tyre rotation, the wear spreads to all the tyres, thus extending their life. Even wear of all tyres can handle a car’s performance, giving one a smoother ride and increases safety of the rider.
Tyre rotation is recommended after every 8,000 to 10,000 km. It is important to get the service done from a good service center for inspection of air pressure, damage, etc.
Wheel alignment is the angle of your wheels in comparison to the body of a vehicle. The alignment is adjusted by altering a vehicle’s suspension.
Wheel alignment is essential to avoid unnecessary damage to your tyres, brakes, steering, etc. Optimum wheel alignment is crucial for stability, tyre life and improves overall handling of a car.
When there is uneven wear, or you notice the steering wheel is off-center when driving straight, you should know it is time to get your wheel alignment checked. Though there is no certain time for it, it is recommended that wheel alignment should be checked every 10,000km, unless any problem arises.
