Does changing tires affect the steering wheel?
1 Answers
Changing tires can affect the steering wheel. Reasons why changing tires affects the steering wheel: Tire dynamic balance, vehicle four-wheel alignment. Prerequisites for tire replacement: Underinflated tires, tire bulges, irregular tread wear, tire noise, shaking while driving, tire scratches or damage, tread groove cracks; tire sidewall cracks, tire repairs. Criteria for determining whether to replace tires: Turn the steering wheel to its limit in any direction, and if the tire tread extends beyond the vehicle body, with intermittent raised areas in the longitudinal tread grooves, these are wear limit indicators; 1mm of tread depth allows for approximately 10,000 kilometers of driving. Typically, standard tread depth is around 8mm. Larger tire sizes may have slightly reduced tread depth, thus decreasing the total mileage. The average annual mileage for passenger cars in China is about 25,000 km. Assuming an initial tread depth of 8mm, a tire can normally last about 3-4 years.
