Can a trailer equipped with ABS system reduce the waste of 8 tires in a year?

When it comes to ABS system, I believe many car enthusiasts will not feel unfamiliar. ABS system is a standard configuration of vehicles, which can prevent wheel lock during braking, increase friction, improve safety, and reduce maintenance costs.

A cardholder bought a three axle low flatbed car and installed a six channel ABS system himself, spending 6500 yuan. One year later, he changed 8 fewer tires than his friends who didn't have ABS installed.

Many car owners are unwilling to install ABS systems: firstly, they feel that the price is high and not mandatory, and they are unwilling to spend more money; Secondly, ABS adjusts the air pressure during emergency braking, making the car owner feel that the braking force is insufficient, which is not as direct as traditional braking.

ABS is a long-term investment that may not show any advantages in the early stages, but it can save maintenance costs in the long term, possibly recouping costs in one or two years, and providing safety guarantees at critical moments.

Car owners are accustomed to the fast braking effect of the "brake king", but this system may cause the brakes to be too sensitive, lock up when lightly pressed, and not exert enough force when heavily pressed, increasing component wear and possibly affecting vehicle handling after the wheels lock up, posing a safety hazard.

On the other hand, the ABS system allows the brake pedal to rebound in order to improve the friction and handling between the wheels and the ground. Car owners should continuously apply the brakes instead of intermittently, as ABS requires continuous pressure to achieve optimal braking effect, which is a new habit of using ABS.

Installing ABS is not only an upgrade in technology, but also a leap in driving intelligence. Let's sail together towards a safer and more economical future!
