Should the Handbrake Be Engaged When Removing Tires?

[DiRosalie]

If you are removing tires on a lift, there is no need to engage the handbrake. However, if you are using a simple jack to remove the tires, then the handbrake should be engaged. Tire Introduction: Tires are the only components of a car that come into contact with the ground. They are crucial for the vehicle's driving stability and safety. As rubber products, tires age over time with prolonged use, so they need to be replaced regularly. Tire Replacement Guide: Under normal circumstances, tires installed on a car can last for four years, so it is recommended to replace them every four years. When purchasing new tires, always check the production date carefully, as tires have a shelf life. Normally, the shelf life of unused tires is three years. If the tires have been in storage for more than three years, they should not be purchased.
