It is serious if a car tire has a dent. Scratches on a car tire can have certain impacts, as they may have already damaged the sidewall's cord layer, significantly increasing the risk of a tire blowout. Below is an introduction regarding scratches on car tires: 1. Inspection: It is best to inspect the car tires at least once a month. When parallel parking, even if the tire sidewall rubs against the curb, it may be hard to notice. Therefore, regular inspection of the tire sidewalls is essential, including checking for scratches, bulges, punctures, aging, etc. 2. Condition: The severity depends on the tire's condition. If the tire is relatively new, minor surface scratches may not be a big issue, and it can still be used. However, for tires that have been used for a long time and show signs of aging or hardening, any scratches or impacts should be taken seriously, and it is advisable to replace them for peace of mind.
