Things you didn’t know about tyres


How much do you really know about your tyres? Tyres are essential when it comes to your driving experience, consumption, the lifeline of your car and your tyres. There are so many things that are affecting your driving experience that you normally would not take in consideration.

I have used Vianor for all services regarding my car and especially the tyres. Every time I leave a Vianor I know that my car is in mint condition and that my tyres have the maximum lifeline they can have. This way I’m much more confident about driving long distances and taking my family on board as well.

Vianor offers a wide range of services when it comes to tyres. All the things I didn’t know about tyres are now clear to me. For example, you should change the place of the tyres every 5 to 10 thousand kilometer from rear to front and vice versa. This keeps your tyres from wearing unsustainably because the wearing is different when it comes to front and rear tyres.  Then, the tyre pressure is the second thing that is a major wearing factor for your tyres. If you have wrong tyre pressures, your tyre (In Finnish: rengas) will wear out in no time and your ride will be a bit unstable. Checking your tyre pressure and adjusting them is crucial if you want to take the max out of your tyres.

The rims you have affect the wear of the tyres as well. You have to have the right tyres for the right rims and this again is something that the people in Vianor are experts on. Best part is that you can also get the rims for your tyres from the same place.

Fixing your tyres can also prolong the lifeline of your tyres quite a lot. Vianor offers solutions for fixing small flaws on your tyres. This way you can also be sure that you won’t be running on a flat tyre when going on a journey.

Balanced tyres are something that keeps the comfort in driving. If your car feels somehow unbalanced, you should take it to the closest Vianor shop and check whether the tyres are in balance or not.

Beauty of an online store


What happens when an online store is more appealing than a regular store? What happens when you have more functionality and more choices in an online store than you would have in the physical store? The answer is easy, you go crazy.

I ran into a Vianor online store when looking for tyres. Not only do I find exactly the tyre (In Finnish: rengas) I need but I can also browse for rims, I can see through a simulator how do the rims look on my car, I get all the information I need regarding the tyres and moreover I get 24/7 access to the store so I can buy the tyres even though it’s midnight. The best part about this online store is that I’m a regular customer at Vianor and I know that I can change the tyres and the rims in their shop. Nothing could be easier when it comes to tyres than shopping in this online store.

Not only it is easy and efficient but in some way it is also very appealing. The fact that I don’t have the nerves to go on about tyres with experts all day long, and this is mostly because I don’t know anything about tyres, but also the fact that I get smarter every time I go to the store makes it more appealing to shop at Vianor. It is easy to benchmark tyres and look at the functionalities of the tyres. I live in a country where there are truly four seasons and all of them come with more than 100% force every time so I really have to consider which tyres I use for my car.

One of the best parts about this online store is also the fact that I can reserve a time for the change of the tyres as they come and if my car needs any other maintenance I can get them done at the same time in Vianor.

Last time at Vianor I got oils changed in my car, winter tyres installed, stored my summer tyres in their tyre hotel service and I had the time to read the latest car magazines in addition to the extremely nice service. This combined with the ultimate online shopping experience makes it all really worth the while and money.

What to do with the extra tyres?


If you are living in the urban area and you don’t have too much space and you happen to own a car, these tips might just mean the world to you.

Many people have been struggling with space issues during the time of urbanization. Storing your extra things can be painful and in some cases even expensive. Some people will rent extra storages rooms around the suburban area to find the space that they need.

When you are living in a country where there is a constant problem of storing your second set of tyres due to needing two sets, you will surely face a problem of storing these tyres. Usually the solution is to pack them somewhere where you have your storage room but the sad thing is that that space cannot be used for the other stuff, you would need to store.

Now there is a solution. Vianor is an innovative company that is focused on selling tyres, serving cars and doing all sorts of maintenance for your car. Now they have come up with a concept of storing your tyres for you when you don’t need them. What could be more convenient than storing your tyres where they are being changed so that when the new season starts, all you have to do is drive in and drive out? You will own two sets of tyres all the time but all you see is the ones you are riding on. This kind of service is great for the people who want convenience and good service in their lives. Changing the tyre is one thing but storing and hassling with different sets of tyres is a different thing.

Vianor is also a great place to keep your tyres because you always know whether it’s time to change the tyres or not. When you leave the shop, you can also rest assure that everything is done by the books and even the tyre pressure will be accordingly monitored and taken care of.

I would recommend the tyre (In Finnish: rengas) hotel service for anyone that values comfort and easiness with good service. It saves space no matter where you live but moreover it saves you from a lot of extra trouble.

What if something happens?

You should be prepared to whatever it is that happens when you are on the road. You have to think of all the scenarios and at least be mentally prepared. What if something happens to the engine? What if a tyre goes flat? What if you run out of petrol? What if there is an accident?

It is almost like a checklist that you have to go through in your head if you are planning a longer journey. Things aren’t that gloomy, though. When you think of the scenarios, you will also find comforting the fact that there are many solutions for these potential issues. If your engine goes bust, you can find some local repair shop or you might even know someone who is living close by your route to help you out. If your tyre (in Finnish:
rengas) goes flat there are many remedies. First one is naturally to have a spare tyre with you but if that is not possible due to the lack of space or then one is not enough, you can always check the national service points for Vianor. Vianor has shops all around Finland and as part of the big player in the field they are very service oriented and a flat tyre is part of their everyday business.

So when planning a journey, it is good to know which partners to scout on the way. In Vianor you can also check the condition of your tyres and tyre pressures before you actually go on the journey. This way you can be sure that there will be no sudden mishaps that are because of your actions. A flat tyre because of a bad road or some object on the road is usually not your fault.

When you have gone through your checklist you should also forget about all the worst case scenarios. This is as important as going through the list. When you forget the list and store it somewhere in the back part of your brain, you can rest assure that you have considered the options and somewhere deep down you know the answers.
