Do I need to replace tires with cracks on the sidewalls?

[VonKiara]

Tires with large cracks on the sidewalls need to be replaced. The appearance of cracks is a normal phenomenon and generally does not affect normal use. However, if there are large cracks or even exposed tire carcass cords, the tire must be replaced. The lifespan of tires and factors affecting their lifespan are introduced as follows: Tire lifespan: The basic lifespan of tires is 6-8 years. Tire manufacturers do not provide a clear statement, but it is generally recommended to use them for 3-5 years or 60,000-80,000 kilometers. Then, based on the mileage or wear level of the tire, a decision to replace should be made after inspection. Factors affecting tire lifespan: Regular tire rotation, choosing appropriate tread patterns, frequent daily maintenance, regular tire pressure checks, timely repairs after damage, and frequent removal of stones and foreign objects from the tread grooves are all important factors affecting tire lifespan.
