How Many Kilometers Should a Car's Tires Be Replaced?
1 Answers
Car tires generally need to be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Whether to replace car tires mainly depends on the wear condition of the tires. If the tires are severely worn and the tread patterns are significantly worn down, it's time to replace them. Otherwise, it may be difficult to brake on slippery roads, and the tires may be prone to blowouts on rough roads. Below are situations to determine if tires need replacement: Severe tread wear: Unexplained tire blowouts indicate that the tires themselves have issues. Checking the tread patterns is the most intuitive way to assess tire condition. As friction time increases, the depth of the tread patterns decreases. When the tread depth reaches 3mm, it's a sign that the tires should be replaced—do not ignore this. Bubbles on the tires: Many people have seen bubbles on bicycle tires, and car tires can also develop bubbles. Bubbles on tires are mostly caused by inconsistent tire strength. If such issues arise, do not continue driving; instead, take the car to a repair shop or 4S store immediately. At this point, the tire is like a ticking time bomb, and it's uncertain when it might burst.
