Tyre Safety Myths That Must Be Debunked Soon 

Tyres, you know, are a critical safety component of your car. Your car cannot even move an inch without tyres. They are the car component that makes your ride a smooth one. The tyre industry has evolved over the years. Bridgestone tyres Peterborough now come with so many added features, which makes maintenance a lot easier. 

Tyres cannot last more than 8 years no matter how expensive they are. However, as a new car owner, you might have come across some misinformation regarding tyre safety. This would damage your tyres further rather than protect them. Below find some of the notable ones.

New Car Tyres Should Always Go At The Front

If you are looking for new sets of tyres for your car, you might have often heard, placing the new tyres at the front would increase your performance. This is completely wrong and actually, installing tyres at the rear provides you with greater hydroplaning resistance. The front-wheel axle cannot provide optimum hydroplaning resistance, and your vehicle would become a lot more susceptible to skidding on wet roads.

When you place new tyres at the back, hydroplaning would happen at the front wheels before it reaches the back one. Understeer is a condition that is easier to rectify than oversteer, which could jeopardise your safety. When going for new tyres, if you cannot purchase all four together, it would be best to check all the old tyres and observe their tread. Tread is important as it ensures grip and control while driving. 

New Tyres Can Never Deteriorate 

This is one of the biggest myths you would get to hear about tyres. New tyres indeed come in healthy condition, and good ones will last for up to 8 years. However, external factors alongside your driving habits have a huge role to play in determining your tyre’s longevity and condition. The main reasons behind tyre damage would be wear and tear, which happens only when your tyres have faced the harsh roads for a long time. 

The ageing of your tyres could also speed up if they are kept exposed to sunlight, rain and cold. New tyres can get damaged early if you do not give them the care they deserve, including keeping your vehicle in a garage, checking the tyre pressure frequently and getting the tyres rotated. 

The Sidewall Mentions Recommended Tyre Pressure 

The tyre pressure which you see marked on the sidewall of your car’s tyres is not the recommended tyre pressure. It is the maximum tyre pressure at which your car tyres would be able to safely operate even when loaded to maximum capacity. The recommended tyre pressure would be mentioned in the car manual or the door placard. 

Abiding by this, your tyres would last long. However, if you have changed the car tyre size, the recommended tyre pressure would change as well for which you should be talking to your tyre dealer. 

Excessive Pumping Causes Tyre Bursts 

Often car owners have heard that excessive pressure inside your tyre could cause a tyre blowout. However, the maximum pressure mentioned on the car manual and the tyre’s maximum pressure is completely different. This is the maximum load that the tyres could take. Chances that your tyres will burst if you exceed that number are rare. 

However, you must follow your tyre’s recommended pressure as mentioned in the car manual. The new car tyres are always more robust and durable than the older ones; however, remember too much pressure could potentially decrease your tyre’s performance. Therefore, these are some of the tyre myths, which should be debunked.

The conversation about congestion charges in New York is weird. Because those in favor can understand how this could be frustrating to certain people, while those against cannot fathom the idea that somebody might be on board.

(I am on board with it. For many many reasons)

‘This Machine Kills Kids’: SUVs Hit With Spray Paint in Bristol

“Climate activists have welcomed the news that SUVs have been targeted with spray paint in Bristol.

“‘This machine kills kids’ was spray-painted onto the doors and bonnet of around six vehicles on Sunday night in Clifton, Bristol’s most expensive suburb, according to Bristol Live …

“SUVs, which are more polluting than normal cars – and are also more deadly when striking pedestrians – have been the target of a recent wave of climate activism. Since March 2022, guerilla climate group the Tyre Extinguishers have targeted over 10,000 SUVs across 15 countries, deflating their tyres and making them temporarily unusable.”

The Importance of Tyres for Road Safety

oscar x reader who has a cochlear implant

sudden silence | oscar piastri

summary: your cochlear implant isn’t always your best friend, but when it fails you at the worst possible time, you feel panic like never before. note: i hope this is what you imagined!! i researched quite a lot to make it as accurate as possible but please correct me if i’ve written something inaccurate xx

everything was loud around you. the engines roaring to life again and again cut through the air and the crowds erupted in cheers whenever they caught sight of a car. the announcers were talking animatedly over the loudspeakers, their enthusiasm clear even if it was just free practice. and on top of all that, the general hustle and bustle also sounded in the background. the high-octane atmosphere was almost headache-inducing. everything was slowly becoming too much for you, the noise deafening, drowning out your thoughts, until suddenly, everything stopped.

suddenly, everything was completely quiet. not a single sound of oscar’s pit crew talking loudly. not a single tyre screeching on the track. just complete silence.

your hand immediately reached up to the small implant in your ear. don’t panic. you forced yourself to take a deep breath. glitches happen. just count to 10 and it should be working again.

1, 2, 3, 4 . . . you took a deep breath again . . . 8, 9 . . . 10 . . .

nothing happened. the silence lingered, the disorienting feeling wrapping around you like a heavy blanket. one of the engineers started shouting something and suddenly everyone was running around, but you couldn’t hear them. you couldn’t hear anything.

you could feel your heart beating away in your chest while your hands started to tremble, clamminess forming in your palms. you tried to steady your breathing again, tried to calm yourself, but everything was suddenly overwhelming. relax. you thought. you can fix it.

fingers fumbling, you reached for the implant, quickly checking the battery. it was still there. adjusting the settings didn’t work either, and it dawned on you like a comet from the sky. there was nothing you could do.

the panic gripped you from the inside and moved into occupying your entire body. hearing was crucial at the track. not just for communication but for safety as well. what if you missed an important announcement? or something critical happening on the track? what if oscar crashed and nobody could tell you?

the visual stimuli—the flashing lights, the cars zooming by, the people moving around you—became slowly overwhelming without the grounding presence of sound. the sensory overload only added to the panic already formed by your thoughts.

what were you supposed to do? alert some of the employees? no. you couldn’t disturb them from their job. find someone else to help? you mind did a quick once over of the people attending the grand prix, but no one who would be able to help you came to mind.

you were on your own.

oscar immediately stressed when he exited the car after fp2, finding out that you were gone from the garage. and no one knew where you were.

you had left somewhere in the middle of the session without telling anyone.

it instantly worried him, and with a frown on his face, he made his way to his small drivers room.

you don’t hear him enter, but suddenly, his figure was standing in front of you, a frown on his face as he said something. you couldn’t hear it. it was as if he was miming the words, no sound escaping his mouth.

he must have noticed something in your facial expression, because suddenly, he stopped talking. his face morphed into an even deeper frown of concern, and his hand moved up to point at his right ear, his question evident in the unspoken.

you only nodded, looking down at your fingers instead of meeting his eyes. was he disappointed that you had left?

you didn’t get long to ponder, because he quickly took a step forward, his hand meeting shoulder first to alert you of his closeness before he pulled you into him, both arms wrapping tightly around your frame and squeezing you against his chest in a hug.

the two of you stayed there for a while, his hand rubbing your back gently as you sniffled slightly, trying to keep the pent up tears at bay.

someone must have knocked on the door, because you felt oscar chest vibrate as he lifted his head to shout something in reply, but he didn’t pull back from you.

there, in oscar’s embrace, with his arms shielding you from the outside world, his lips pressing reassuring kisses into your hair, you knew everything would be fine. you could call the audiologist in a moment, and everything would be fixed. but for a moment you actually enjoyed the silence, because you know that oscar won’t let anything happen. with him, you were completely safe, and as long as you had him, nothing could go completely wrong.
