Do I Need to Replace the Wheel Hub When Changing Tires?
1 Answers
Replacing tires does not require changing the wheel hub. As long as the wheel hub is not damaged, you only need to replace the tires with the same size and specifications as the original ones when changing tires, and there is no need to replace the wheel hub as well. After installing new tires, since the old wheel hub has balance weights attached, it is advisable to perform a dynamic balance to prevent abnormal wear of the new tires and steering deviation. Tires, as components that directly contact the ground to bear the vehicle's weight and provide the necessary friction for driving, operate in extremely harsh conditions. They not only face exposure to sun and rain but also endure extreme cold in winter and high temperatures in summer. Under such severe working conditions, even the best tires are prone to aging and damage. To ensure driving safety, it is generally recommended to replace tires promptly when they are severely aged or damaged.
