How many tires do I need to prepare for driving in Tibet?

Driving to Tibet, regarding tires, this preparation is correct, which can ensure smooth and safe travel.

First, check the degree of tire wear before departure.

Driving in and out of Sichuan, Tibet and Xinjiang, plus the distance from home, the number of kilometers of the line will not be less. And back and forth for more than 20 days, the vehicle runs every day, and the tires fly under full load and pressure almost every day. Tires with a wear degree of more than 60% are prone to puncture when they are covered with stones on a long downhill slope or pressed into a larger pit or bag on the road.

Replace the seriously worn tires before departure, and it is best that the wear degree of all four tires is less than 30%. Coupled with a full-size brand-new spare tire, even if you go to Tibet by bike, you basically don't have to worry about the tire problem.

Two, there are in-depth plans to enter Tibet, or through C inspection, C inspection route in and out of Tibet.

Bicycles, it is recommended that the first four tires and spare tires are brand-new, so that they can basically go smoothly and safely.

If more than two cars can take care of each other, and the four "working" tires are not seriously worn, one spare tire for each car is enough. If the tire model of each car matches, it will be the guarantee of smooth and safe travel.

Tip: once the tire is damaged, it is difficult to repair it on the unconventional hotline or in the counties and villages below Tibet. Even if it is repaired, it may be a motorcycle tire repair. Tires repaired in underdeveloped areas (including county towns) are best used as spare tires.

Friends drive in Tibet, ok! Those who drive into Tibet are undoubtedly heroes, including of course. You ask: How many tires do you need to prepare? This is a practical, concrete, but difficult question to answer.

Although Tibet Road is easy to walk, there are too many small sharp stones to prevent. The man in red in the picture is the author of this article. )

Why is your question difficult to answer? Because you can't take it to Tibet as a joke, as long as you are prepared to involve specific figures, you can't say for sure. You can't just say one number with a few. That's irresponsible nonsense.

I had a flat tire in Tibet, and I understand your anxiety about it.

I blew up a baby in Tibet, and I understand your anxiety about it.

We know that the articles prepared for the trip to Tibet require meticulous and comprehensive eating, use, wearing and transportation. A dress should be prepared for spring, summer, autumn and winter, and other foods should be taken into account. The car will be full.

People are ready. Where's the car? It should be ready, too. There are many things to prepare for the car. The question "How many tires do you need to prepare" you raised today is just one of the auto parts. If you want to list others, it will be complicated. So answering your tire question means answering almost all the vulnerable parts of the car. You must not give data or data, and it is nonsense to give it.

We can only talk about this matter according to local conditions and customs, road conditions and your car condition, and see if we can provide you with an idea.

Vulgarity refers to the general situation, that is, what everyone looks like, so I suggest you do the same.

The general situation we know is: don't add a spare tire, because you have a spare tire in your car. Of course, some imported cars don't have spare tires. If you don't have a spare tire in your car, prepare a tire belt on the road in case of emergency.

The road conditions in Tibet are very good now. Expressway, national highways and even rural roads are easy to run. Although there are some natural rocky areas, it doesn't matter. Remember to drive slowly on those roads so as not to puncture the tires with sharp stones. The most important thing is to have an evaluation of the vehicle tires you use before you leave. If the time and the degree of wear are not new, replace them all and resolutely. It can still be used in the future anyway. Psychologically, it will be much safer and more practical. Besides, there is a spare tire there.

(What if one blows up and the other blows up? The author changed tires in Tibet. )

When I went to Tibet that year, I remembered Meili Snow Mountain near the landslide section. The weather is very bad. It rained all the way, but I could see the road ahead, and I had a flat tire. Although Tibet Road is easy to walk, there are many small sharp stones, which are hard to prevent.

If we blow up one, we have a spare tire. What if we blow up another one? My heart will panic. The mountain is high and the road is far, where can I buy it? Don't say there is no shop, no one can see it, and you can't say it won't blow up. You're nervous. Three days later, I arrived in Lhasa and bought new tires. We have a spare tire, so we are relieved.

You ask: How many tires do you need to prepare for driving in Tibet? I don't think it's just the tires. Here are three suggestions for your reference:

1, all on-board equipment and personnel supply are not available to anyone. If you have to get everything ready, you can't go out without the car. It is recommended not to touch auto parts under normal operation, and to maintain the vehicle immediately after arriving in Lhasa. If it is necessary to replace them, please contact the 4S store.

2. Before going out, the car tires exceeded 1-20000 km, and all four tires were replaced (they can be used in the future).

3. Remember, the mountain roads in Tibet are worth a thousand words. Walk slowly, don't worry, safety is in it. This is slow, not using the car as a scooter, but a little slower than normal. Slow appointment can ensure safety.

All right, that's all. I hope it works for you. I wish my friends a happy and smooth trip to Tibet!

It depends on which route you choose to take. Enter Tibet by 3 18, and leave Tibet by Qinghai-Tibet line. The car is equipped with full-size tires (remember to do four-wheel alignment). I was lucky that there was no problem all the way, but the precautions were that the brake pads must be brought, because 3 18 often detoured, the brakes were badly worn, and enough refrigerant was needed.

Tibet is a high-altitude area with a vast territory and few people, and there are few vehicles along the way. And there is no cell phone signal in many areas. Once a vehicle has a flat tire on the road, if there is no spare tire, it is likely to be thrown in half and will not be rescued for a long time. As for how many tires to bring, there is no fixed answer. It should be determined comprehensively according to its own driving route and car condition. Take at least 1 spare tire. If conditions permit, you can consider taking more than two exams.

The plateau air is thin, resulting in relatively low air pressure. If the tire pressure in the plain area is normal, the pressure difference between inside and outside will be balanced, and generally there will be no puncture. But after reaching the plateau, the pressure inside the tire is still the pressure in the plain area, but the pressure outside the tire becomes the pressure in the plateau area, which is lower than that in the plain area. At this time, the tires will bulge from the inside out. If the tire is used for a long time and the rubber is seriously aged, it is likely to burst. This is actually a physical knowledge about atmospheric pressure. People who go to the plateau can do an experiment. Take an empty mineral water bottle on the plateau and tighten the bottle cap. When you take this bottle under the plateau, you will find that the bottle will be seriously deformed and the whole bottle will be sunken. In other words, the air pressure in the plain area is greater than that in the plateau area.

In view of the above situation, when we are on the plateau, we should take corresponding measures to prevent puncture. It is best to bring an air pump that can display the tire pressure. When the vehicle climbs to a high altitude area, it will release a little gas after a period of time, so that the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the tire will not be too great. When we get off the plateau, we will gradually inflate the tires in the opposite order, so that the tires will not burst.

It is true that people who have never been to the plateau must feel that the road conditions on the plateau are very complicated. However, the complexity of plateau roads does not refer to the road surface, but refers to frequent mountain climbing, many bends, and some sections are still frozen soil, which will have a certain impact on driving. But as far as several main roads are concerned, Qinghai-Tibet Highway, Sichuan-Tibet Highway and Xinzang Highway are basically asphalt roads, including Nashi Highway from Naqu to Shiquan River. After the renovation, they are all paved with asphalt, and the tire wear is not very serious.

However, the country roads leading to some towns and some national defense roads leading to the border defense have not yet achieved full asphalt pavement, and most of them are still gravel pavements. If you travel to Tibet, you plan to take gravel roads in these places, and the tires of the vehicles will be more worn. You should take more spare tires to prevent accidents. If you just take a few main roads, you don't need to bring too much, because you need to bring a lot of living materials to the plateau, and the space in the car is very limited. Can you save or save some space?

To make this problem clear, it is necessary to distinguish between different plates. First of all, for a relatively flat road section, this refers to the road surface with little ups and downs and few bends. Generally, the speed is relatively fast. Encounter a flat tire, according to the usual situation in expressway to deal with a flat tire. Hold the steering wheel tightly, step on the brakes, try to keep the vehicle from leaving the subgrade and gradually slow down. Secondly, when crossing Daban, the speed is generally slow, but for Daban terrain, the road is narrow, with mountains on one side and cliffs on the other. Therefore, when encountering a flat tire, the first thing to consider is to prevent the vehicle from falling off the cliff. At this time, turn to the side near the mountain and quickly brake to slow down and stop.

In any case, after the vehicle stops smoothly, triangular warning signs should be placed at appropriate positions to prevent secondary vehicle accidents. Then you can replace the spare tire with the vehicle-mounted tool. It should be noted that everything on the plateau should be done slowly, otherwise it will lead to altitude sickness, which will be life-threatening in severe cases. So don't worry when changing the spare tire, take your time, as long as you can change it. If there are passing cars at this time, you can ask for help.

When going out, safety always comes first, especially in Tibet. In order to avoid being stuck on the road due to a flat tire, if the vehicle space is large enough, it is best to bring more spare tires to deal with the unexpected.

With the popularity of private cars, self-driving Tibet is now favored by more and more riders. With the increasingly powerful infrastructure, Tibet is no longer a must-see place for off-road vehicles. Even the detection line deified by the vast number of off-road coffee has been basically paved, becoming a new channel for Yunnan and Tibet. Now, you can see more and more family cars shuttling freely on various traditional routes to Tibet. Two-wheel drive to Tibet is completely competent.

At present, many models (especially seven-seater cars) have cancelled the spare tire and replaced it with tire repair liquid and vehicle-mounted air pump. In fact, if you take the regular route and don't catch up with the rainy season, it is enough to rely on the spare tire normally brought by the vehicle. There is no need to configure a spare tire. Those models whose original cars are not equipped with tires should drive as safely as possible.

By conventional route, I mean the Sichuan-Tibet North-South Line, Yunnan-Tibet Line, New Tibet Line and Qinghai-Tibet Line, excluding Dabei Line and some unpaved roads not found in navigation, such as some sidewalks in Ali and Shigatse. If you want to challenge these unconventional lines, you must choose energy vehicles with complete four-wheel drive, such as Lu Xun, Shepherd, FJ and Pajero, and put on AT tires with larger patterns. Personally, I prefer brands such as Bailuchi and Cooper. If conditions permit, double spare tires are best. Finally, I wish you a pleasant journey.

I drove to Tibet in September this year, with a round trip of more than 7,400 kilometers. In order to load more things, I even removed the spare tire, and there was no problem on the road.

Now the roads in Tibet are quite good, and there are many maintenance points nearby. Actually, a spare tire is enough. Some cars are not equipped with full-size spare tires. If it is not a full-size spare tire, it is best to replace it with a full-size spare tire.

Be sure to give the car a major maintenance before departure, change everything that should be changed, and adjust the state of the car to the best. Prepare snow chains. In some places, because the construction roads are not easy to walk, even in bad weather, the top of the mountain will freeze.

You also need to have some simple knowledge of car repair, and it is best to have an old driver with you. Traction rope, jack, sapper shovel, water pump, these things are definitely indispensable. Pay more attention to the ground that is not hardened, such as the beach by the river and the grass by the road. It is often the most beautiful place. One minute you are sighing about the magic of nature, and the next you find that the car can't move. It's easy to sink in, but it's troublesome to take it out then.

At high altitude, the power of the car will also decrease and the fuel consumption will increase. Where there is a gas station, try to fill up the fuel tank. In Tibet now, as long as you go to expressway, there will be cars coming and going, and it will not be difficult to ask for help.

Commitment in the dream, people and cars are one, the world is very big, and you can go wherever you want.

I went to Tibet some time ago and brought a BMW 5 Series and a Mercedes. On the way to Seda, BMW's tire was punctured, and I found several places to mend it, but I couldn't find a place. Even if I find one or two places, I can't fix it. Finally, I found one in Luhuo, not so good. Later, I went to Litang County and made it up again. Fortunately, it's finished.

How many tires should I prepare for road trip, Tibet? In fact, preparing a spare tire is enough. Some cars don't have a spare tire, such as Mercedes-Benz BMW. These models all use flat tires and there is no spare tire at all. Therefore, these cars really need to prepare a spare tire to go to Tibet. Why do they have a spare tire? It's simple, because you don't know whether the tire will be punctured or not, and whether it can be repaired there.

At present, the spare tires of many vehicles are not full size. If you go to go on road trip and Tibet, you must bring a full-size spare tire, which may be more reliable. Otherwise, there will only be an emergency. Of course, it doesn't matter if you go to the new Tibet line. You must bring full-size spare tires, some even bring two, and some even bring security cars. Do you think tires are important?

Finally, aside from the topic, many donkey friends brought their car pumps when they went to Tibet. Actually, it's all rubbish. It can only be used if you buy that kind of high-power air pump. Low power is basically useless, and you can't breathe at all. Once, I was cheated once, and later I found a donkey friend to lead the team and brought a high-power air pump to solve it for me.

Just a spare tire for the car. I'm 1.6L automatic. Have a safe trip. I saw several cars with flat tires on the road, all off-road vehicles. The reason for the flat tire is that it ran over a sharp stone when crossing a bad road. As long as you don't bravado, control your speed and try to avoid sharp stones, you won't have a flat tire.

On this trip, I took iced tea to Tibet, passed the northern, northern and southern lines of Ali, took 2 19 from Shiquan River to Tibet, then took Duku Highway to Urumqi, and then took Lianhuo -G7- Lianhuo Expressway from Xinjiang back to Guangdong. Before departure, the car had traveled 40 thousand kilometers, so it replaced two worn front wheels and kept two rear wheels. As a result, a tire on the rear wheel was punctured by gravel and was not found in time. Afterwards, it was found that because of the large amount of luggage, if the car was replaced with a non-full-size spare tire, the replaced bad tire would not fit into the equipped tire, and it would have to compete with the luggage for position. If you choose this one, repair it yourself and change the tire after tea. After arriving in Lhasa, Ali decided to take another trip. Then I bought an extra wheel hub, used the tire changed by Cha Yu as a spare tire, and changed two new tires as rear tires. Then I didn't puncture the tires all the way, including the gravel road from Wenbunan Village to Zhari Namco. In the eyes of Tibetans who specialize in Ali Line, it was 100% puncture without AT tires. In fact, if the rear tire was replaced before this trip, it might not be punctured in Pucha, so it is most important to use a new tire for Tibet travel, no matter what brand. The most important thing is new, the tread is deep, and it is not easy to be punctured by gravel. Of course, if the spare tire is not full-size, adding a full-size spare tire will make you feel more psychologically safe and more confident to take the gravel road.
