How Often Should New Car Wheels Be Replaced?
2 Answers
Under normal circumstances, new car wheels can be used for 3-5 years or replaced after approximately 40,000-60,000 kilometers. Below is an explanation regarding car tires: 1. Introduction: Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery for ground rolling. 2. Markings: Tires are crucial components of a car, with over 10 types of markings on them. Correctly identifying these markings is essential for tire selection, usage, and maintenance, significantly contributing to driving safety and extending tire lifespan. 3. Function: They reduce and absorb vibrations and impacts during driving, prevent severe vibrations and premature damage to car components, adapt to high-speed performance while reducing driving noise, and ensure driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and energy efficiency.
Having driven for over a decade, I believe tire replacement depends on specific circumstances. New car tires typically last 5 to 7 years or can run 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers, but driving habits and road conditions greatly influence this. I commute in the city daily, so my tires wear slower, but the poor road conditions back in my hometown mean they need replacing sooner. I regularly check tread depth using a coin: if the edge patterns aren't visible when inserted into the tread grooves, it's time to change them. Safety comes first—I once had a minor accident due to thin tires skidding during rainy-day braking. During annual maintenance, I always ask the mechanic to measure tread depth and recommend regular tire rotation to balance wear. New tires aren't cheap, so these practices extend their lifespan and save money. If you frequently carry passengers or drive long distances, pay extra attention to tire pressure—underinflation accelerates wear. I check my tire pressure monthly to ensure it's optimal. Remember, climate affects rubber aging too; tires in hot southern regions crack easily—don't wait until they're completely worn out to act.
