Are you in attempts to cut the expenses on motoring? Then, it is sure that some simple adjustments to your driving style can really help you in that. It is not just fuel consumption that driving style has an impact on. The rate of tyre wear is also directly linked to the way of driving. Just check out with racer who favours fast driving and spinning tyres, how often he replaces his car tyres compared to a more sedate driver. It is for sure that the boy racer will have less money in his pocket as his motoring costs will be high.

Here we are giving you five tips to change your driving habits to reduce the car tyre wear:

1. Careful cornering
Aggressive cornering will cause extra wear on the tyres. The cornering hard on one way than the other way will result in the uneven wearing on the car tyres. It also puts unnecessary stress on key components of the steering and suspension mechanism, causing fast wearing.

2. Gradual acceleration
Hard acceleration from a standing start will put extra wear on the car tyres, especially the front tyres, which may result in the fast wearing out than the back ones. It also results in the straining on the drive shaft and gearbox, as well as other components, which are expensive to replace.

3. Keep to the speed limits
Driving regularly at high speed will result in fast wearing out the tyres than traveling at a more reasonable speed. The high speeds will cause high temperature of tyres resulting wear out.

4. Avoid hard braking
Braking hard places the entire load onto the front tyres, causing accelerate wear. It causes wearing out of brake pads faster and puts all kinds of stresses on the whole car. Take care not to put hard brakes when it is not necessary.

5. Maintain recommended car tyre pressures
A car tyre inflated below its recommended pressure will result in fast wearing because of its higher operating temperature and the extra flexing of the rubber.

Driving with unequal pressures will lead to increased wear, which has to be taken care of.
