Does Turtle Wax Tire Glaze Really Damage Tires?

[McJohn]

If you use qualified tire glaze properly, it will not damage the tires. After purchasing tire glaze, you can test it with pH test paper. If the tire glaze is strongly acidic or alkaline, it is recommended not to use it and opt for a neutral one instead, as tire glaze can be corrosive to wheel rims and tire rubber. Here is some relevant information about tires: 1. Tire lifespan: The wear life of tires is 30,000-50,000 kilometers. If the tires have not reached the wear limit or mileage but have been in use for 5 years or have developed numerous cracks on the sidewalls, they should be replaced. 2. Tire material: The main component of tires is rubber, and the maximum storage and anti-aging time for rubber, from natural latex to ethylene-propylene and nitrile, does not exceed 10 years. The average service life of various rubber products in use is 3-5 years.
