Can tires with many small cracks on the side still be used?
1 Answers
Tires with minor cracks on the side can still be used normally, but if the cracks are numerous and deep, they should be replaced. Generally, the lifespan of a tire is 3-5 years, with aging beginning around 3 years. After 5 years, tires are usually severely aged and should be replaced promptly. Methods to delay tire aging and extend tire life: 1. Park in shaded areas: Try to park in cooler places to avoid direct sunlight; 2. Avoid corrosive substances: Stay away from oil, chemicals, and other corrosive contaminants that can damage tires; 3. Use beauty products: Apply products like tire glaze or tire wax to slow aging; 4. Avoid overloading: Overloading can cause excessive pressure on the tire sidewalls; 5. Regular inspections: After 3 years of use, regularly check the tire's condition.
