What is the general lifespan of tires?
1 Answers
The general lifespan of tires is usually 3-5 years or 40,000-60,000 kilometers, depending on the wear and tear of the tires. If the tires are well maintained, their service life can be extended. For car owners with good driving habits, the replacement time for tires is generally 3-5 years or a mileage of 60,000-80,000 kilometers. If the road conditions are more severe, such as frequent driving on gravel roads or frequent traffic jams, sudden braking, and sharp turns, the replacement time for tires will be shortened. The main raw material of tires is rubber, which undergoes natural aging, mainly manifested as the tires becoming hard and the sidewalls covered with small cracks. The general natural aging time is 4-5 years. Tires used for 5 years need to be replaced in time to prevent the risk of blowouts. To maintain the good working performance and service life of tires, daily maintenance is necessary. First, it is necessary to regularly check the tire pressure. Excessive or insufficient tire pressure will cause abnormal tire wear, shorten the normal life of the tires, increase fuel consumption, and increase the risk of blowouts during high-speed driving. Usually, pay more attention to the wear of the tread pattern to ensure the tire's grip. According to national standards, the wear limit for radial tires used in cars is 1.6mm. Paying attention to four-wheel alignment, dynamic balance, and four-wheel rotation can effectively extend the service life of tires.
