How often should vehicle tires be replaced?
1 Answers
There are no mandatory regulations for the replacement time of car tires. Below are specific details about car tire replacement: 1. Replacement duration depends on circumstances: For drivers with good driving habits, tires generally need to be replaced every 3-5 years or after driving 60,000-80,000 kilometers. If driving under harsh road conditions, such as frequently traveling on gravel roads or experiencing frequent traffic jams, sudden braking, or sharp turns, the replacement interval will be shorter. 2. Tire aging period: The main material of tires is rubber, which naturally ages over time. This aging is characterized by the tires becoming hard and the sidewalls developing small cracks. Typically, natural aging occurs within 4-5 years. Tires should be replaced promptly after 5 years of use to prevent the risk of blowouts. 3. Observe tire wear: If the tires are severely worn, and the tread pattern is level with the wear indicators, the tires should be replaced. Otherwise, braking on wet or slippery roads will be more difficult, increasing the risk of losing control of the vehicle. Additionally, driving on rough roads may lead to tire blowouts.
