At what level of tire aging must replacement be done?
1 Answers
Tires must be replaced when they develop numerous fine cracks or when the tread wear indicator reaches a height of 1.6 millimeters, as continued driving under such conditions poses safety risks. The fine cracks on tires are commonly referred to as tire cracking. The presence of cracking not only affects the comfort level of the tire but also significantly reduces its grip performance. When such cracks appear, the tire should be replaced promptly. Generally, every car tire is equipped with a tread wear indicator, with a standard height of 2.4 millimeters. The minimum tread wear indicator height is 1.6 millimeters, and when the wear reaches this level, it indicates that the tire should be replaced immediately.
