How Many Times Can a Tire Be Repaired Before Replacement?
1 Answers
It mainly depends on the size of the damage and the affected area. Here are the relevant details about tires: 1. Wear: Tires have wear indicators. There are triangular marks on the sidewall; when the tread wears down to the level indicated by these marks, replacement is recommended. Inside the tread grooves, there are also raised markers; when the tread wears down to these raised markers, it's time to replace the tire. Simple punctures can be repaired without needing replacement. However, bulges must be replaced. 2. Aging: Rubber oxidizes in the air, causing it to harden and reduce grip. Therefore, even if a tire is not used, its lifespan will decrease. It is not recommended to use a tire for more than 5 years from its production date. The production date can be found on the tire's sidewall.
