Do tires with fine cracks need to be replaced?
1 Answers
Tires with fine cracks need to be replaced, as failure to do so may lead to tire blowouts. The reasons for replacement are as follows: Typically, the lifespan of a tire is 3 to 5 years. Tires older than 3 years should be thoroughly inspected for signs of rubber cracking. If no cracks are found, they can still be used, but the tread wear should be monitored frequently. Precautions for tire usage: 1. Pay attention to the tire wear indicators. Each tire has wear indicators in the tread grooves. If the tire tread is level with the wear indicators, it means the tire needs to be replaced. 2. If the tire shows cracks or bulges, immediate replacement is recommended. Tire bulges occur when the cords inside the tire sidewall break, which can easily cause a blowout.
