Does Inner Tire Wear Require Replacement?
2 Answers
Tire inner wear requires replacement. Here are the details: 1. If the tire hasn't been used for long, hasn't been patched, shows normal wear, and hasn't aged, replacing it with a tire of the same brand, model, and tread pattern is sufficient. 2. If the tire has been used for a considerable period, with varying degrees of wear on each tire or tires on the same side, it's advisable to replace at least the left and right pair. Below is additional information about inner tubes: 1. The inner tube, commonly known as the inner tire, refers to the annular elastic tube used to maintain tire pressure, equipped with a tire valve. The valve is used for inflation and to maintain a certain air pressure inside the inner tube. 2. The inner tube should have good air tightness, heat resistance, elasticity, aging resistance, and minimal permanent deformation. It is generally made of butyl rubber. 3. The inner tube is an inflatable shock-absorbing pressure container, used as an auxiliary pressure container in the tire cavities of trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, and rickshaws. Based on the main material, it can be divided into natural rubber inner tubes and butyl rubber inner tubes. There is also a new product, pure butyl rubber inner tubes.
Severe inner tire wear absolutely requires immediate replacement. I remember during my last long-distance drive, I noticed the inner side of the front tires was nearly worn through, which scared me into rushing to the repair shop. The mechanic said this is commonly caused by misaligned wheels or aging suspension systems, and failure to address it promptly could lead to blowouts—especially dangerous at high speeds. I immediately replaced the tires and got a full wheel alignment test—cost a bit but ensured peace of mind. Since then, I’ve made it a habit to check tire tread and pressure monthly. Inner wear shouldn’t be ignored; if you encounter similar issues, visit a professional shop for replacement and inspection—don’t cut corners.
