Can a tire with sidewall cracks still be used?
1 Answers
Tire sidewall cracks can be divided into the following two situations: 1. If the cracks on the tire sidewall are caused by normal rubber aging, then it does not affect usage. 2. If the cracks on the tire sidewall are caused by being cut by sharp objects, it is recommended to replace the car tire promptly to avoid driving risks. The following is an introduction to the functions of tires: 1. Tires are the medium for transmitting forces between the vehicle and the road: They transmit driving force, braking force, steering force, etc., thereby enabling operations such as driving, braking, and steering. 2. Supporting vehicle load: The vehicle load causes the tire to sink until the average pressure on the tire contact area balances with the internal inflation pressure of the tire. 3. Reducing and absorbing vibrations and impacts during driving: This prevents early damage to car components caused by severe vibrations, while also adapting to high-speed driving conditions and reducing driving noise, ensuring driving safety, comfort, handling stability, and fuel economy.
