Can tires with cracks in the middle grooves continue to be used?
1 Answers
Rubber products have a service life, and tires with cracks cannot continue to be used. Below are specific details about tires: 1. Functions of tires: Tires support the entire weight of the vehicle, bear the load of the car, transmit traction and braking torque, ensure the adhesion between the wheels and the road, reduce and absorb vibrations and impacts during driving, prevent severe vibrations and early damage to vehicle components, adapt to the high-speed performance of the vehicle, reduce noise during driving, and ensure driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel economy. 2. Tire maintenance methods: Tire maintenance methods include regularly cleaning stones from tire grooves, reducing exposure to sunlight, frequently checking tire pressure, paying attention to suspension maintenance, periodically inspecting front wheel alignment, and being mindful of driving habits. 3. Replacement period: The service life of tires is about 5 years, with the specific duration related to driving habits, temperature, and environment. Generally, after 5 to 6 years of use, tires will age and develop cracks, increasing the risk of blowouts. If the tire tread is worn flat, traction will decrease, making the vehicle more prone to skidding. These factors can endanger driving safety, necessitating tire replacement.
