At what tread depth should tires be replaced?
1 Answers
Tires should be replaced when the tread depth is less than 2.5mm. A tread depth standard greater than 3.5mm is considered good condition, while between 2.5mm and 3.5mm is normal. When it reaches the minimum limit of 1.6mm, replacement is mandatory. Key considerations for tire replacement include: 1. Selecting tires of the same specification; 2. Replacing the valve stem simultaneously; 3. Paying attention to installation direction and inflation; 4. Checking tire pressure; 5. Performing a four-wheel alignment after replacement. The functions of tires are: 1. Transmitting driving force, braking force, and steering force to enable vehicle operation; 2. Supporting vehicle load; 3. Reducing and absorbing vibrations and impacts during driving to prevent severe vibrations from damaging automotive components.
