Do tires need to be replaced at 60,000 kilometers?
1 Answers
60,000 kilometers is the time to replace tires. The typical service life of tires is 4 to 6 years or 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Tires with tread depth below 1.6mm should be replaced immediately. Continued use may lead to risks such as tire blowouts or reduced grip causing skidding. Precautions for tire usage: 1. Avoid curbs to prevent tire compression: Tires can endure significant pressure, which may lead to ruptures, especially in summer when tires are less stable and more prone to bursting; 2. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight: Most commonly used tires contain a high proportion of rubber, which can age and soften under high temperatures. In summer, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight as it may also cause tires to expand and crack, reducing their lifespan; 3. Avoid turning the steering wheel while stationary: Doing so concentrates tire wear on the same contact patch, leading to localized severe wear and shortened service life.
