Can a tire with exposed cords still be used?

[Kenneth]

Tires with exposed cords cannot be used and need to be replaced. The rubber thickness on the side of a tire does not exceed 1 centimeter. Once this part is damaged, there is a high probability of damaging the radial layer. If the radial layer is compromised, the structural integrity of the entire tire cannot be guaranteed, and the tire may blow out at any time (especially at higher speeds, as the risk increases with speed due to higher tire pressure, which can easily cause catastrophic damage to the metal layer). The following situations also require tire replacement: 1. Expiration date approaching. Every tire has a production date, and it's important to pay attention to the usage period and mileage of your tires. Beyond this period or mileage, the tire wear will be more severe and may not support the vehicle adequately. 2. Severe tread wear. Check the tire tread. 3. Abnormal tire pressure. More advanced vehicles come with a tire pressure monitoring function, as many traffic accidents are caused by abnormal tire pressure. High tire pressure makes braking harder to control, while low tire pressure reduces the vehicle's power.
