How Long is the Shelf Life of Tires?

[Ross]

The shelf life of tires is 5 years or 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Situations requiring tire replacement include: 1. The tire wear has reached the wear limit indicator; 2. The tire is aging, with numerous small cracks on the tread pattern; 3. Tires with deformed treads or damaged bead areas; 4. Tires with bulges cannot be used. Methods for tire maintenance include: 1. Regularly check tire pressure to ensure it is neither too high nor too low; 2. Frequently remove debris from the tread grooves to avoid blowouts; 3. Inspect the tire's wear condition and replace them promptly based on wear; 4. Perform four-wheel rotation to distribute wear evenly and prevent excessive wear; 5. Avoid curbs and potholes, as they can cause the sidewall cords to break, leading to tire bulges.
