How Often Should Car Wheels Be Replaced?
1 Answers
Car wheels generally need to be replaced after driving approximately 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers under normal conditions. Below is extended information about car wheels: 1. The replacement interval for car tires can also be determined based on the tire's manufacturing date. There is a 4-digit number on the sidewall of the tire indicating its production date, where the first two digits represent the week and the last two digits represent the year. For example, the number 1617 means the tire was produced in the 16th week of 2017. Knowing the production date, you can estimate the optimal usage period by adding 5 years to the production date under normal circumstances. 2. Generally, tires should be replaced after driving about 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. Exceeding this mileage significantly increases driving risks. In urban environments with well-paved roads, the upper limit of the tire's mileage can be considered due to the favorable driving conditions. However, in suburban areas with unpaved roads, mountainous terrains, or other harsh driving conditions, the lower limit of the tire's mileage should be used as the standard for replacement. 3. When determining how often to replace car tires, also check for damages on the tread, shoulder, or sidewall, such as visible cracks, bulges, deformations, or punctures. If a tire shows bulging or deformation, it indicates that the internal metal coils are already deformed or broken, and continuing to drive may lead to a high risk of tire blowout.
