Snow stuck to your vehicle’s wheel arches can accelerate tire wear, cause the wheels to lock up, and cause chassis parts to fail. In this respect reports “Rossiyskaya Gazeta”, referring to the head of the service department of the Fresh automobile market Ilya Ivansky.
“Snow masses clinging to the wheel arches and the underside of the car can prevent the wheels from turning. If the arches are not protected, snow and sand can accumulate and freeze pipes or cable connections that are technically important for the operation of vehicles,” Ivansky said.
According to him, when the snow melts, the wear of these parts accelerates. If snow completely fills the space under the fenders, it will rub against the tread and accelerate tire wear. In addition, the expert warned that snow drifts and snowdrifts adhering to ice may deprive the car of part of the fender lining.
Previously it was known how Russian drivers could punish due to the collapse of the traffic police base.
