How Long Can Car Tires Last?
1 Answers
Car tires can last between 3 to 5 years or 50,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Due to varying usage conditions, tire replacement should primarily be based on wear, followed by age. If the wear is severe, the tires need to be replaced even after just one year of use. Conversely, if the wear is not significant but the tires are over 5 years old from their production date, they must still be replaced to avoid the risk of blowouts. Situations where tires cannot be used further include: 1. Presence of tread cracks, tread bulges, missing tread rubber, uneven wear, chemical corrosion, or repeated punctures by foreign objects; 2. Tread wear approaching the wear indicator: Tires must be replaced when the tread depth reaches 1.6 millimeters, as nearly all tires have a marker at this depth; 3. Tread aging with cracks.
