Is It Harmful to Soak Tires in Water Overnight?
1 Answers
Soaking tires in water overnight is not a problem, and even long-term soaking will not have any impact. Here are some relevant introductions about tires: 1. Main Materials of Tires: The main material of tires is rubber, and the characteristic of rubber is that it ages over time or after prolonged storage, leading to significant changes in the physical properties of the tire, such as hardness and wear resistance. If an aged tire continues to be used, it may affect vehicle performance at best, or even cause a tire blowout at worst. 2. Service Life of Tires: Generally, all-season tires or economy tires have a service life of 3-5 years, with a mileage of about 50,000 kilometers. Under normal circumstances, the service life of a tire from the factory is sufficient for one year. However, for high-performance tires, the service life is only 20,000-30,000 kilometers.
