At what level of tire wear must replacement occur?
1 Answers
When tire wear reaches 1.6mm, replacement is mandatory. Factors related to wear level: Tire tread wear level - new tires typically have a thickness of around 8mm. When wear reduces this to approximately 1.6mm, the tire should be replaced. The rate of wear is directly influenced by mileage and driving habits. The normal lifespan ranges between 50,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Upon reaching this mileage, regular checks of tire thickness should be considered. Tread aging degree: Tire aging significantly depends on usage duration and environmental conditions, with a standard service life of about 6 years. Harsh environments can accelerate this timeline. Aged tires will exhibit numerous surface cracks. If such signs are observed, immediate replacement is advised even before reaching 6 years, as delayed action may lead to severe blowout risks.
