Can a Bulging Tire Be Covered by Insurance?
1 Answers
Tire blowouts without external force impact are not covered by insurance companies. Below is relevant information about tires: 1. Wear: Tires have wear indicators. There are triangular marks on the sidewall of the tire; when worn to the point indicated by the triangle mark, replacement is recommended. Inside the tire tread grooves, there are also raised markers; when worn down to the level of these raised markers, the tire should be replaced. Simple punctures can be repaired without needing replacement. However, bulging tires must be replaced. 2. Aging: Rubber oxidizes in the air, and oxidized rubber hardens, reducing grip. Therefore, even if a set of tires is not used, its lifespan will decrease. It is not recommended to use tires for more than 5 years from the production date. The production date can be found on the sidewall of the tire.
