Should the tire be replaced if a small piece is scraped off the outer wall?
1 Answers
If the sidewall of the tire is scratched, it should be replaced as soon as possible to avoid the danger of a high-speed blowout. Below is 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 the torque of traction and braking, ensuring good adhesion between the wheel and the road surface to improve the car's power, braking, and passability; to work with the car suspension to cushion the impact received 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.
