How many kilometers can a car tire generally last?
1 Answers
Generally, car tires can last about 80,000 kilometers. If the mileage has reached 80,000 kilometers, it is recommended to replace the tires. If the mileage is lower, for example, only 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers after 6 years, a basic inspection of the tires is necessary. Check if there are obvious cracks on the tire sidewalls. If cracks are present, the tires should be replaced promptly. If the car is only driven at low speeds on city roads, the tires can continue to be used, but not for more than 7 years, as prolonged use can lead to tire aging. Note: Choose the right tires: When replacing tires, it's important to select the appropriate ones. The specifications of the new tires should match those of the other tire on the same axle, including speed rating, load index, tread pattern, brand, size, etc., to ensure safe driving. Replace the valve stem as well: After replacing the tires, the aging cycles of the new tires and valve stems differ. During the lifespan of the new tires, the valve stems may develop issues, which are not easily noticeable. Therefore, it's best to replace the valve stems at the same time as the tires.
