How Often Should the Tires on a Corolla Be Replaced?
2 Answers
The tires on a Corolla should be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Most original equipment tires are from brands such as Yokohama or Dunlop, though some models may use Michelin or Bridgestone. The tire sizes typically include 195/65R15, 205/55R16, and 225/45R17. Below is more information about the Corolla: 1. The Corolla is equipped with a 1.8L inline-four engine featuring dual VVT-i technology, paired with either a 6-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum power output of 100 kW and a peak torque of 175 Nm. 2. The vehicle's dimensions are 4635mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1455mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. It features a MacPherson strut front suspension and an E-type multi-link rear suspension.
I've driven a Corolla for over a decade, and there's no fixed schedule for tire replacement. I mainly check the tire wear condition - when the tread depth is less than 1.6mm, it's time to change them. You can test this by inserting a one-yuan coin; if you can see the top of the national emblem, the tires need replacing. Also, pay attention to cracks or bulges on the tire sidewalls, especially during hot summers when they're prone to aging. I usually replace them every four to five years, but if you frequently drive long distances or on rough roads, you might need to change them earlier, around 30,000-40,000 kilometers. Tires that have been patched more than three times should also be replaced - safety first. Don't just rely on mileage; tire lifespan depends on road conditions, tire pressure, and driving habits. The most reliable approach is to check them yourself every month.
