Is it okay if there are cracks in the tire tread?

[ReidMarie]

Tires with cracks should not continue to be used. Here is some information about cracked tires: 1. Service life: Generally, the service life of tires is 3-5 years. Over time, even with careful driving, the surface may harden and develop cracks. Continuing to use such tires poses a risk of blowouts. 2. Tire usage precautions: Avoid turning the steering wheel while stationary, as this is often a bad habit left over from driving school. It causes wear on a single contact point of the tire, leading to severe localized wear and shortening the tire's lifespan. Always turn the steering wheel while the wheels are rolling. Avoid driving on curbs, as mounting curbs can easily cause tire bulges. Also, be cautious of potholes on the road and try to avoid them, as driving quickly over rough surfaces can lead to tire bulges and tread separation.
