How Often Should the Tires of a Scooter Be Replaced?
1 Answers
The standard for replacing scooter tires mainly depends on their wear condition and personal needs, and is not necessarily related to the mileage driven, which is more of an auxiliary data point. Generally, motorcycle tires should be replaced every 3 years or after 60,000 kilometers. Based on the driving conditions of a vehicle on good roads, the original tires can last for 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers without issues. However, in actual usage, due to factors like tire quality and driving habits, problems such as cracking, uneven wear, bulging, and slow leaks may occur. In such cases, replacing the tires becomes necessary for riding safety and comfort. Below are some considerations when purchasing and using tires: When buying tires, always check the production date: If the production date is too old, do not purchase the tire. Tires are rubber products and will age even if not used. During regular use, frequently check tire pressure and the surface for any damage: The sidewalls of tires are relatively fragile; if they are cut or punctured, they cannot be repaired. It is recommended that owners replace their tires every four years, even if the mileage driven within those four years is low.
