How Many Kilometers Should Car Tires Be Replaced?
1 Answers
Under normal usage, tires should be replaced every 5 years or 80,000 kilometers. If the tires are damaged during use, such as from impacts, the need for immediate replacement should be determined based on the specific condition of the tire. Most tire treads can be safely used after repair if damaged, but if the sidewall is damaged, it is recommended to replace the tire directly. Below are some considerations regarding tire maintenance and usage: Safe Storage: All tires should be stored in a cool, dry, and dark indoor environment, away from sunlight, oil, acid, and hydrocarbons, as these can erode the tires. Due to pressurization, liquids may penetrate the tire's inner liner into the carcass, which can lead to sudden tire damage. Tire Maintenance: Regular tire rotation, choosing appropriate tread patterns, routine maintenance, periodic checks of tire pressure, timely repair of damages, and frequent removal of stones and foreign objects from the tread are all important factors in extending tire lifespan.
