How Many Years Can a Car Tire Last?
2 Answers
Car tires can last for 5 years or between 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Methods for maintaining car tires: 1. Increase awareness of tire safety and inspect tires regularly; 2. Regularly correct wheel balance, as unbalanced wheels can cause high-frequency wobbling at high speeds, leading to uneven tire wear; 3. Perform regular tire rotation. To ensure even tire wear on the same vehicle, tires should be rotated every 5,000 kilometers. Tires are a crucial component of a car, directly contacting the road surface and working with the car's suspension to mitigate the impact of driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving.
I think how many years a sedan's tires can last depends on driving habits. Generally, tire lifespan is about 5 to 6 years or around 60,000 kilometers, but don't just focus on time. Based on my years of driving experience, frequent long-distance trips wear tires faster, possibly requiring replacement in 4 years; urban short trips may extend to 7 years. Aging and wear are key factors - rubber hardens and cracks, especially when parked outdoors under direct sunlight, accelerating aging. I recommend regularly checking tread depth; replace immediately if below 1.6mm, and maintain standard tire pressure with monthly checks. Last time I neglected this, my car skidded in rain causing a major accident. Safety first - don't compromise to save money.
