Is It Serious If There Are Cracks in the Central Grooves of the Tire?

It depends on the specific situation: If the tire shows signs of aging, it needs to be replaced immediately, regardless of how long it has been used or the extent of wear. Below are the details: Indicator marks: If the remaining groove depth of the tire tread reaches or falls below 1.6 millimeters (there are indicator marks inside the longitudinal straight grooves of the tire tread indicating this depth), the tire must be replaced because its drainage capacity has significantly decreased, making driving on wet surfaces more dangerous. Damaged tires: Damaged tires should also be carefully evaluated for replacement. For example, a tire that has been run underinflated may still be drivable when inflated, but since the internal structure may have been compromised, it is recommended to replace it with a new tire promptly.
