Car tires can generally be used for 3-5 years, and the mileage should preferably not exceed 60,000 kilometers. The following are the signs for tire replacement: 1. Bulging on the tire sidewall: When bulging appears on the sidewall of a car tire, it is necessary to replace the tire promptly, as bulging on the tire sidewall is difficult to repair. Bulging indicates that the cords inside the tire have broken, and a blowout may occur at any time while driving. Immediate replacement is required to avoid compromising driving safety. 2. Tire cracks: Tire cracks are relatively common in daily car use. These cracks can vary in length and depth, so proper judgment is needed. If you are unsure about the tire's condition, it is recommended to have the tire inspected at a 4S store or a professional auto repair shop. Severe tire cracks can lead to bulging and increase the risk of a blowout. 3. Tire wear indicators: Car tires have wear indicators, which mark the limit of tire wear. If the tire wear reaches these indicators, the tire should be replaced immediately. Such tires pose significant safety risks, as even on dry roads, braking distance may increase, and on wet or slippery roads, they may cause skidding or brake failure.
