How many kilometers should car tires generally be replaced after?

Car tire replacement mileage should be determined based on actual conditions. Generally, they need to be replaced every 40,000 to 50,000 kilometers. Additionally, a tire rotation should be performed every 10,000 kilometers to prevent severe wear on one side of the tires. Notes for tire replacement: 1. Tire specifications: Choose tires with the same specifications as those originally installed on the vehicle. 2. Replacement quantity: Replace 2 or 4 tires at the same time. After replacement, each wheel must undergo dynamic balancing to ensure uniform mass distribution across all parts of the assembly.
I just got my tires replaced last week after running about 60,000 kilometers - they were pretty much worn out. Personal experience tells you, mileage alone isn't reliable; you need to change tires when the tread depth goes below 1.6mm, that's the safety threshold. I drive frequently with poor urban road conditions accelerating wear, plus you should check tire pressure more often - both overinflation and underinflation wear tires faster. Thin tires on highways may cause skidding or blowouts, so be extremely careful. Generally recommended to inspect every 50,000-60,000km, but for off-road driving or humid hot climates where wear is faster, you might need earlier replacement. Safety first, don't gamble with your life.
