How often should SUV tires be replaced?
1 Answers
According to the shelf life of tires, the sidewall of the tire will have a four-digit number indicating the manufacturing date of the tire, with the first two digits representing the week number and the last two digits representing the year. Generally, tires should not be used for more than 3 years or exceed 60,000 kilometers. Whether tires need to be replaced can be judged based on the following points: 1. If the tire shows signs of aging (for example: there are numerous small cracks on the bottom of the tread pattern groove or the sidewall that are about to damage the tire body), the tire should be replaced immediately, regardless of how long it has been used or how much it has worn. 2. If the remaining groove depth of the tire tread reaches or falls below 1.6 millimeters (there are indicator marks inside the longitudinal straight grooves of the tire tread indicating this depth), the tire must be replaced because its drainage capacity has significantly decreased, making driving on wet roads more dangerous. In addition, it is particularly important to remind that bulging tires must not continue to be used. Whether tires need to be replaced is recommended to refer to the above content. Generally, tires are used for about 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers or 3 to 5 years. Since tire usage is affected by driving habits and road conditions, it may also differ from the mileage or time, so it is not recommended to judge simply based on mileage or time.
