How often should Ono tires be replaced?
3 Answers
Ono tires should be replaced approximately every 50,000 to 60,000 kilometers. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on metal rims that are assembled on various vehicles or machinery. They support the vehicle body, absorb external shocks, maintain contact with the road surface, and ensure driving performance. Taking the 2020 Ono as an example, it is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 107 PS, a maximum torque of 145 Nm, and a maximum power of 78.5 kW. The 2020 Ono has body dimensions of 4450 mm in length, 1685 mm in width, 1835 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2750 mm.
I'm very particular about safety, having driven for over a decade. I don't change tires on a fixed schedule but rather based on actual wear and lifespan. Generally, when the tread depth goes below 1.6mm, it's time to replace them immediately—otherwise, braking in the rain can easily lead to skidding and accidents. Also, don’t exceed five years, even if the tread looks fine, because the rubber hardens and cracks with age, increasing the risk of a blowout at high speeds. I recommend checking your tires monthly by inserting a coin into the tread—if the pattern doesn’t cover the coin’s text, it’s time to replace them. When driving, avoid sudden braking or sharp turns, as these wear tires faster. Extending their lifespan can also save on repair costs. In short, get regular maintenance at a shop and let the mechanics inspect them—don’t wait until there’s a problem to replace them. Safety is more important than anything else.
I think saving money on car maintenance is important, so I calculate tire replacement very carefully. Under normal driving conditions, tires can last over 40,000 kilometers, but it depends on your usage. For my daily city commute, I drive about 12,000 kilometers a year, so I replace them every three years or so. If you frequently drive on highways or carry heavy loads, you might need to replace them every two years. The key is not to waste money by replacing them unnecessarily, but also not to skimp to the point of danger. I make it a habit to check tire pressure every quarter—maintaining proper pressure reduces wear and saves fuel. If there are small cracks or bulges on the tire sidewalls, it means they're nearing the end of their life, and replacing them promptly can avoid costly repairs. Overall, balancing economy and risk with regular maintenance is the most cost-effective approach.
