How Many Kilometers Should a Car Drive Before Changing Tires?
1 Answers
Car tires should be replaced every 3 to 5 years or every 60,000 to 120,000 kilometers. Methods to determine whether tires need replacement: On the sidewall of the car tire, you can usually find a small triangular arrow mark. Following this mark will lead you to a raised indicator in the tread groove. This raised indicator is the tire wear mark. When the tread depth is less than 1.6 millimeters, which is generally below this wear mark, it essentially means the tire is about to be scrapped, and the owner should replace the tire promptly. Precautions for tire maintenance: Tire pressure should not be too high. Due to weather conditions, the friction during driving can cause the tire pressure to rise, increasing the risk of a blowout. Remove debris from the tread grooves. If the grooves in the tire are clogged with debris, the anti-skid function will be significantly reduced, potentially posing a threat to driving safety.
