How Often Should Passenger Car Tires Be Replaced?

[LeEmerson]

Here is the introduction to the replacement cycle of passenger car tires: 1. The service life of car tires is four years or 80,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. If the tires have no issues but have been in service for four years, they should be replaced even if the mileage hasn't reached 80,000 kilometers. Similarly, if the mileage reaches 80,000 kilometers before four years, replacement is also necessary. 2. If there are fine cracks on the sidewalls of the tires, they should be replaced immediately. 3. The lifespan of tires should not exceed five years, calculated from the date of manufacture. Even if the tires appear to be in good condition after five years, they should be replaced as aged tires lose their original elasticity. Continuing to drive with such tires may lead to deformation and increase the risk of a blowout.
