How often should Corolla tires be replaced?

[MatteoDella]

Corolla tires need to be replaced every 5 years or 60,000 kilometers. Here is the extended content: 1. Check the tire surface for obvious damage, bulges, deformations, punctures, cracks, etc. Excessive debris should be cleaned promptly. If visible cracks or cuts are present on the tire sidewall, they may lead to air leaks or even tire blowouts in the future. 2. Inspect the wear condition and whether the tread is aging. Those familiar with basic tire knowledge know that each tire has a wear indicator mark, which serves as a reference for tire wear. When the tread depth wears below 1.6mm, the tires should be replaced. For household cars, tires can generally be replaced every 60,000 kilometers or 5 years, but tires with severely worn treads should be replaced earlier.

I've been driving a Corolla for five years now. When should I change the tires? It depends on the situation. From my experience, tires generally need to be replaced every 50,000 to 60,000 kilometers, as worn treads can affect grip, especially in rainy weather when slipping is more likely. Additionally, tires age over time; hardened rubber is prone to cracking and blowouts, so even if the mileage isn't high, they should be inspected and replaced after six or seven years. During every maintenance check, I have the technician measure the tread depth—if it's below 1.6mm, it's time to replace them. For safety, I personally check the tire surfaces every two years for any bulges or small cracks. Remember, don't wait for an accident to change them. The Corolla is a family car, and keeping the tires in good condition ensures safe and cost-effective driving.

From a cost-saving perspective, I don't recommend waiting until the Corolla's tires are severely worn to replace them. On my car, I changed them after just 40,000 kilometers because I drive a lot in city traffic, which wears tires out faster. Replacing tires costs over a thousand each time, but if the tread is shallow, it increases fuel consumption, making it more expensive in the long run. Tire lifespan mainly depends on driving habits and road conditions: frequent driving in mountainous or gravel areas causes more wear; gentle driving can extend usage to 70,000-80,000 kilometers. I check the tire pressure monthly to keep it normal and avoid excessive wear. Also, when replacing tires, choose a better-quality brand for longer durability—the original tires on the Corolla are quite durable too. Don't ignore minor issues; replacing them early is better than breaking down halfway.

I just got a Corolla as my first car and know nothing about tire replacement. A friend taught me to check the tread: insert a coin into the tread groove, and if the entire silver edge is visible, it means the depth is insufficient and the tire needs to be replaced. Over time, the rubber on tires hardens, so you might need to consider replacing them after about five years, even if you haven't driven many kilometers. I make it a habit to get a free inspection at the shop every 10,000 kilometers, where the technician checks for wear and aging and explains it clearly. Safety comes first—worn-out tires can easily cause loss of control on the highway. The Corolla drives smoothly for daily use, but don't neglect tire maintenance. Before each drive, I quickly scan the surface for cracks or bulges. Learning some basic knowledge makes driving safer and more worry-free.
