How Often Should the Languid Tires Be Replaced?
2 Answers
Under normal driving conditions, the Languid tires should be replaced after traveling 60,000 kilometers or being used for 3 years. The service life of tires is related to many factors. The following situations also require tire replacement: 1. Tire bulging or deformation: Such conditions indicate that the internal metal coils of the tire have deformed or broken. Continuing to drive may lead to a tire blowout. 2. Severe damage to the tire body: If the tire body is damaged, it can no longer bear the vehicle's weight and high-speed operation. 3. Severe damage to the tread: If the tread pattern is severely worn or the tread has been punctured with a hole exceeding 6 cm in diameter, tire replacement should be considered. 4. Sidewall cracking: Cracks on the outer side of the tire directly affect the tire's protective layer and airtight structure.
The timing for replacing the Lantra's tires isn't fixed—it mainly depends on tire wear and usage conditions. From my years of driving experience, I generally recommend checking if replacement is needed around every 80,000 kilometers; or if the tires are over 5 years old, it's best to consider new ones due to rubber aging and becoming brittle. For daily checks, the simplest method is the coin test for tread depth: if the tread isn't deep enough when inserting a coin, below 1.6mm, it's time to replace. Additionally, poor road conditions or frequent highway driving accelerate tire wear. Once, I neglected to check and ended up with unstable tire pressure causing a minor accident on the highway—a hard lesson learned. Regular tire rotation extends their lifespan, so don't skip this step. Remember, safety comes first. If the budget allows, replace them earlier to avoid breakdowns on the road.
