Should a small chunk missing from the tire sidewall be replaced?
1 Answers
If the tire sidewall is scratched, the tire should be replaced as soon as possible to avoid the risk of a high-speed blowout. Here is some relevant information about car tires: 1. The role of tires: To support the entire weight of the vehicle, bear the load of the car, and transmit forces and moments in other directions; to transmit traction and braking torque, ensuring good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface to improve the car's power, braking, and passability; to work with the car suspension to cushion the impact during driving; 2. Tire lifespan: The lifespan of a tire is related to many factors, such as climate, road conditions, driving style, installation, maintenance, etc. According to international regulations, if the tire is used normally, it must be replaced when the tread depth wears down to 1.6 millimeters.
