Can tires still be used after six years?
1 Answers
If the aging degree of 6-year-old tires is not severe, with few surface cracks and minimal wear, they can still be used. Here are methods to determine tire wear condition: Check tire wear indicators: Tire tread grooves are equipped with wear indicator marks. When the tread depth wears down to the same level as the raised indicator rubber, it means the tires need replacement. Bulging phenomenon: Tread bulging indicates localized rubber deterioration or uneven pressure distribution. Such tires may burst at any moment, making continued driving extremely dangerous, so immediate replacement is necessary. Tread aging and cracking: When tires exhibit this condition, it signifies severe aging, with dense cracks appearing across the tread and around the wheel hub.
