Can a tire with exposed cords be repaired?
1 Answers
Tires with exposed cords cannot be repaired. Exposed cords create a hidden danger of tire blowouts, increase fuel consumption, and reduce tire lifespan. They may even damage the car's suspension, causing drifting, imbalance, or even rollovers during driving. The replacement time varies depending on conditions: For drivers with good driving habits, tires generally need replacement every 3-5 years or after 60,000-80,000 kilometers of driving. In more severe road conditions, such as frequent driving on gravel roads, traffic congestion, or aggressive braking and turning, the replacement interval will be shorter. Tire aging time: The main material of tires is rubber, which naturally ages over time. Signs of aging include hardening of the tire and small cracks appearing on the sidewalls. Typically, natural aging occurs within 4-5 years. Tires should be replaced after 5 years of use to prevent the risk of blowouts. Observing tire wear: If the tire is severely worn, with the tread pattern reaching the same level as the wear indicators, it needs to be replaced. Otherwise, braking on wet or slippery roads will be difficult, and the vehicle may easily lose control. Driving on rough roads with worn tires also increases the risk of blowouts.
