How Long Can Tires Be Used?

[AlexanderRose]

Tires should generally not be used for more than 3 years or exceed 60,000 kilometers in mileage. While slightly surpassing these limits may not cause major issues, winter's low temperatures and summer rains can reduce the tire's wet grip and dry handling performance. Pay close attention to the sidewalls: As tire rubber gradually ages, deep cracks may appear on the sidewalls. As long as the sidewalls haven't been impacted and the cords remain intact, the tires can continue to be used. The triangular marks on the tire sidewalls can help drivers locate a protrusion in the tread grooves, which indicates the actual wear limit of the tire. That value should be greater than 1.6 millimeters.
