Do small cracks on tires require replacement?

[StAlaina]

Whether small cracks on tires require replacement depends on the location and specific condition of the cracks. Sidewall cracks: If the cracks appear on the sidewall, it is necessary to promptly inspect them at a 4S shop and replace the tire if needed. The sidewall is the most vulnerable part of a tire, and continued driving may lead to a blowout, which can easily cause a traffic accident. Deep cracks: If the cracks, although small, are deep and have reached the standard tread depth of about 1.6 millimeters, they also pose a significant risk of blowout and should be replaced immediately at a 4S shop.
