Should tires be replaced after running 120,000 kilometers?

Generally speaking, the mileage or time interval for tire replacement is more of an empirical guideline. The actual need for replacement should primarily be determined by several conditions, and tires require regular inspection. The reference conditions are as follows: 1. Wear limit indicator: Tires must be discontinued when worn to the wear limit indicator (i.e., when the tread depth is below 1.6 millimeters). 2. Aging: Tires that have aged. (Physical inspection required for confirmation) 3. Deformation: Tires with tread deformation or bead damage, tires damaged due to running under-inflated leading to sidewall crushing, or tires corroded by chemicals must not be used further. 4. Bulging: Bulging tires must not be continued to be used. 5. Safety impact: Any other damages that affect the safety of tire usage should also warrant discontinuation.
