Do small cracks on the side of the tire require replacement?
1 Answers
Tire sidewall cracks require replacement depending on the situation: 1. If the cracks are small and appear on the tire tread, they are normal aging cracks or wear and do not require replacement; 2. If the cracks appear on the tire sidewall, replacement is necessary to avoid tire blowouts; 3. If the cracks are too long or deep, reaching the standard tread depth of 1.6 millimeters, replacement is required. Tires are essential components of a vehicle, and their functions include: 1. Supporting the entire weight of the vehicle and bearing the load; 2. Transmitting traction and braking torque to ensure wheel adhesion to the road surface; 3. Reducing and absorbing vibrations and impact forces during driving to ensure safe and stable driving.
