Generally, passenger car tires should be replaced every 60,000-80,000 kilometers, or preferably every 3-5 years. However, the specified service life may vary among different brands, as the requirements for tires are slightly different. Therefore, you can check from the following aspects: 1. Check the tire wear indicators: Regardless of the tire brand, wear indicator marks will be set in the groove area of the tread. When the tread depth is worn down to the same level as the raised wear indicator, it indicates that the tire should be replaced. 2. Bulging phenomenon: If the tread bulges, it means that the local rubber has deteriorated or the pressure is uneven. At this time, the tire may explode at any time, so you should stop driving. 3. Tread aging and cracking: If this phenomenon occurs, it means that the aging is very serious, and dense cracks will appear around the tread and wheel hub, which can easily lead to a tire blowout, so it should be replaced in time.

Should I Use Recirculation Mode When Turning on AC in Summer?

Activate recirculation mode: When using AC in summer to prevent hot outside air from entering the cabin, during smoggy days, or in traffic jams to avoid external pollutants. 2.

When should the timing belt of Hyundai Santa Fe be replaced?

The timing belt is best replaced after the car has traveled 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. The function of the engine timing belt is to drive the engine's valve train, ensuring that the intake and exhaust valves open and close at the appropriate times. By connecting to the crankshaft and maintaining a specific transmission ratio, it guarantees the accuracy of the intake and exhaust timing. Reasons for replacing the timing belt: Some assembly issues or personal driving habits may damage the belt, necessitating early replacement; friction with mechanical components, operational heat, various vibrations, or mechanical issues with other parts (such as the drive pulley) can also reduce or weaken the belt's lifespan. Protective measures for the timing belt: Proper daily maintenance is essential. During maintenance, it is important to choose a professional automotive after-sales service center for repairs and to pay attention to personal driving habits. After the car has traveled a certain distance, refer to the manual standards for timely or early inspection and maintenance. If abnormalities are found, such as belt cracking, elongation, or damage, replace the belt promptly.
