Can a car tire with cracks on the side still be used? Here are the specific details: 1. If the cracks are only due to normal rubber aging, then it does not affect usage. 2. If the cracks are caused by sharp objects cutting the tire, it is recommended to replace the tire promptly. The sidewall of a tire is relatively vulnerable to damage, especially if the car frequently travels on rough roads or over curbs, which can harm the sidewall. 3. If the sidewall is punctured or cut, it is advised not to attempt repairs, as continued use after repair poses risks. The best solution is to replace the tire with a new one. 4. It is recommended to replace tires every four years, even if the mileage driven within those four years is relatively low.
