How Many Years Should Tires Generally Be Used Before Replacement?
1 Answers
Automobile tires can generally be used for 3-5 years, with a recommended mileage not exceeding 60,000 kilometers. The service life of car tires is directly related to the driver's driving habits and the driving environment. During daily vehicle use, it is necessary to make reasonable judgments about the tires. If the tires are no longer usable, they should be replaced promptly. The following are indicators for tire replacement: 1. Sidewall bulging: If bulging appears on the sidewall of a car tire, it is necessary to replace the tire immediately. Sidewall bulging is difficult to repair and indicates that the tire's cords have broken. This can lead to a blowout at any time while driving, so timely replacement is essential to avoid compromising driving safety. 2. Tire cracks: Tire cracks are relatively common during daily vehicle use. These cracks can vary in length and depth, requiring careful assessment. If the condition of the tire cannot be determined, it is recommended that the owner visit a 4S shop or a professional auto repair shop for inspection. Severe tire cracks can lead to bulging and eventually cause a blowout. 3. Tire wear indicators: Car tires have wear indicators, which mark the limit of tire wear. If the tire wear reaches this indicator, the tire should be replaced immediately. Such tires pose significant safety hazards. Even on dry roads, the braking distance will increase, and on wet or slippery roads, they are prone to skidding or brake failure.
