How often should the Lavida tires be replaced?
3 Answers
Under normal driving conditions of approximately 25,000-30,000 kilometers per year, wear-resistant tires can be replaced after about 70,000 kilometers, while comfort-oriented tires are recommended to be replaced every 50,000-60,000 kilometers. If the annual mileage is less than 10,000 kilometers, it is advisable to replace the tires every three to four years. The main factors affecting tire lifespan include: 1. Whether the tires are installed in the correct position; 2. Checking if the tire pressure is too low or too high; 3. The heavier the vehicle load, the shorter the tire lifespan; 4. The road conditions and the driver's habits.
As a proud owner of a Lavida, I firmly believe safety should be the top priority when it comes to tire replacement. Lavida tires typically require wear inspection every 50,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Use a tread depth gauge - if it measures below 1.6mm, replace them immediately to avoid dangerous hydroplaning and poor braking in wet conditions. Aging is equally crucial; I recommend replacement approximately every five years as rubber hardens and cracks. My last highway blowout was caused by overaged tires - timely replacement saved me. During routine maintenance, have technicians examine your tires thoroughly, including pressure checks and road condition adaptation (mountain driving accelerates wear). Never compromise safety to save money - one proper replacement ensures 1-2 years of secure driving. After all, when behind the wheel, your life depends on it. Make tire maintenance a habit.
My Lavida has been running for several years, and when it comes to changing tires, I focus on balancing cost-effectiveness with safety. Saving money doesn't mean not changing them, but maximizing their lifespan: usually, I keep the tire pressure around 2.4 bar, avoid sudden braking and hard acceleration, so they can last up to 60,000 km before replacement. But don't push beyond six years or when the tread is too shallow—otherwise, spending a few hundred on new tires is much cheaper than repair costs. I've compared prices between online shops and 4S stores—buying standard tires online is fine for the Lavida, as its moderate weight isn't picky about brands. Don't trust online discounts for expired tires; the safety risks are too high. Spending a little extra for peace of mind is a worthwhile investment.
