What are the criteria for tire replacement?
1 Answers
Tire replacement criteria are as follows: 1. Technical standard: When tread grooves are less than 1.6MM, tires should be replaced. If the tread wear indicator is exposed, it indicates that the groove depth is less than 1.6mm. The tread wear indicator is the raised part in the groove. Using tires with remaining groove depth below 1.6mm may result in sudden loss of traction and braking force in rainy conditions, as well as complete loss of traction in snowy conditions. 2. Tread standard: Tires that have been punctured more than 4 times on the tread; tires with punctured or damaged sidewalls; tires with tread punctures exceeding 4mm in diameter; tires with punctured shoulders. The sidewall rubber is thinner, and if the puncture hole is large or the rubber surface shows extensive rough granulation or bulging deformation, immediate replacement is necessary to prevent blowouts. 3. Mileage standard: Based on road conditions, 30,000-50,000 kilometers. For smooth asphalt roads, 50,000 kilometers; for rough gravel roads, 30,000 kilometers. When exceeding 30,000 kilometers, the tread friction coefficient is less than 50. In wet or snowy conditions, the tread's water drainage function decreases or is lost, with a friction coefficient below 15, making gravel roads prone to blowouts.
