How Long Can Tires Last?
1 Answers
Generally, the service life of tires can be determined by two criteria: the usage time should not exceed 5 years; and the mileage under mixed road conditions should not exceed 60,000 kilometers. This standard applies to regular family cars. If the owner frequently drives on unpaved roads such as construction sites, the tires should be replaced earlier. The following situations require tire replacement: 1. When the tire's skeleton material is damaged, the tire must be replaced immediately. 2. When the tire tread wears down to the wear indicator, the tire should be replaced as soon as possible. 3. When the tire has a leak that cannot be repaired, such as a puncture in the sidewall, it needs to be replaced promptly. 4. When the tire suddenly develops unexplained noises, uneven wear, pulling to one side, or abnormal wear after some time of use, the cause should be investigated and the tire replaced in time. 5. Even if the tire appears completely normal, if its service life exceeds 5 to 6 years, replacement should be considered.
