Brilio.net - Taking good care of tires can be an important aspect of vehicle maintenance. Maintaining car tires is very important to maintain driving performance and safety. Tires that are well maintained will have optimal traction, reducing the risk of accidents due to loss of control of the vehicle.
Well, one way to care for car tires is to clean them regularly. Making sure your car tires are not bad is certainly important. Unfortunately, a number of obstacles such as exposure to UV rays from the sun and extreme weather are often unavoidable. Even though this condition has the potential to make car tires become worse and the color fades.
To overcome this, a number of people usually wash car tires with soap and water. But instead of washing them, you can clean car tires in a practical way done by YouTube user YouTube Arief. Through one of the videos he uploaded, he admitted that he only used simple ingredients to clean bad car tires so they shine like new.
As reported by BrilioFood on Tuesday (7/5), the materials used included dish washing soap and used oil. Apart from that, there is an additional kitchen ingredient, namely granulated sugar. So, granulated sugar is the main key that will make car tires shine again and really clean.

To use it, just prepare a glass first. Then put 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and hot water in a glass. After that, stir until the sugar melts and dissolves in the water.
Next, pour in 1 tablespoon of dish soap and stir again. Then add 1/2 tablespoon of used oil, stir again. So, you don't need to use too much oil so that the liquid dries easily when applied. That way, no dust or dirt can easily stick to the car tires when cleaning.

If all of these ingredients have been mixed well, apply them directly to the dirty and dirty car tires. To make it easier to use, transfer this cleaning fluid into a bottle with a hole in the lid. After that, pour a little of the liquid onto a dishwashing sponge. Then rub it onto the dirty tire.
"We just beautify the edges. We don't need to use the tread because this (liquid) contains oil. Because if it's slippery, there's oil, it can reduce the bite or grip when on asphalt. So we just clean the edges," said YouTube Yoga Arief.

After rubbing evenly, let it sit for a while to dry. When it's dry, the appearance of the tire will be even shinier and shinier, like new. The results are not much different when you use expensive tire polish.

Good car tire maintenance can help extend tire life and maintain the quality and performance of the vehicle. Here are some tips for caring for car tires so that they remain high quality and don't wear out quickly:
1. Check air pressure regularly.
Make sure the air pressure in the tires meets the manufacturer's recommendations. Inappropriate air pressure can cause tires to wear quickly and unevenly.
2. Check and rotate tires regularly.
Rotating tires every 8,000-10,000 km can help avoid uneven wear and extend tire life.
3. Avoid overload.
Do not exceed the manufacturer's recommended load capacity, as this can accelerate tire wear.
4. Avoid sudden braking.
Sudden braking can cause the tires to lock up and experience "flat-spotting," which can damage the tires.
5. Keep tires clean.
Clean tires regularly from dust, dirt and chemicals such as oil or gasoline which can damage tire rubber.
6. Use tires according to road conditions.
Use tires that are suitable for the road conditions you will be traveling on, for example all-season tires or summer/winter tires.
7. Avoid high speeds.
Driving at high speed can accelerate tire wear, especially if the air pressure in the tires is not suitable.
8. Pay attention to balance and rims.
Make sure the rims are in good condition and balanced, as unbalanced rims can cause tires to wear unevenly.
9. Perform additional maintenance.
Use special lubricant products for tire rubber, such as tire dressing, to protect tire rubber from weather and ozone which can damage.
