How many kilometers should you drive before changing tires?
1 Answers
Under comprehensive road conditions, the mileage should not exceed 60,000 kilometers. Here are the precautions for replacing new tires: 1. Balance testing: After replacing new tires and performing tire disassembly and assembly, balance testing is required. When tires are mounted on rims, the weight distribution is usually not completely even. Use a balancing machine to test the balance of the tire and rim during movement, and use balancing weights at the unbalanced points to ensure smooth driving and avoid vibrations. 2. Replace the valve stem: When installing new tires, replace the valve stem as well. Since valve stems are made of rubber, they can age over time. While the valve stem may seem fine when the new tire is installed, it could age prematurely during the tire's lifespan, creating a safety hazard. 3. Check tire pressure: Regularly check the tire pressure to avoid both overinflation and underinflation, as both can negatively affect driving performance.
