Do tires need to be replaced after 8 years?
1 Answers
Tires generally need to be replaced after 8 years because the rubber deteriorates with age. The typical service life of tires is around 3 years or 80,000 kilometers. Here are the relevant details: 1. Introduction: The replacement time for tires depends on various factors such as tire brand, quality, driving conditions, and driving style, usually ranging between 50,000 to 80,000 kilometers. 2. Replacement conditions: Reaching the wear limit: Tires must be discontinued when they reach the wear limit indicator (i.e., when the tread depth is below 1.6 mm). Tire aging: Numerous small cracks appear at the base of the tread grooves or on the sidewalls. Tires with deformed treads or damaged bead areas: Tires that have been damaged by running under-inflated, leading to sidewall compression damage, or those corroded by chemicals should not be used further.
