At what level of tire cracks should replacement be considered?
1 Answers
Tire cracks require replacement under the following conditions: 1. Crack length exceeds 6mm: Cracks shorter than 6mm can be repaired at a service shop. Otherwise, tire replacement is necessary as damage to internal materials cannot be repaired. 2. Numerous small cracks: If the tire shows signs of aging with countless small cracks at the tread groove base or sidewall that are about to reach the carcass, immediate replacement is required. 3. Groove depth: When groove depth falls below 1.6mm, replacement is needed; otherwise, continued use is acceptable. 4. Bulges: Any bulging should prompt immediate tire replacement.
