Do I need to replace tires with scratches?
1 Answers
If only the surface rubber is scratched, replacement is not necessary. However, if the scratch is deep, replacement is required. Below is an introduction about tires: 1. Introduction: Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery for ground rolling. Typically installed on metal rims, they support the vehicle body, cushion external impacts, ensure contact with the road surface, and maintain driving performance. 2. Performance: Tires often operate under complex and harsh conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and high/low temperatures during use. Therefore, they must possess high load-bearing, traction, and cushioning capabilities. Additionally, they require high wear resistance, flex resistance, and low rolling resistance with minimal heat generation. Half of the world's rubber consumption is used for tire production, highlighting the significant rubber demand for tires. 3. Specifications: Specifications are indicative data of a tire's geometric parameters and physical performance. Tire specifications are commonly represented by a set of numbers, where the first number indicates the tire section width, and the second number denotes the rim diameter, both measured in inches.
