What is the lifespan of tires for family sedans?
2 Answers
Lifespan of family sedan tires: The usage period should not exceed 5 years; the mileage under comprehensive road conditions should not exceed 60,000 kilometers. Tire lifespan: The wear lifespan of tires is 30,000-50,000 kilometers. If the tire hasn't reached the wear limit or mileage, but has been in use for 5 years or developed numerous cracks on the sidewalls, the tire needs to be replaced. Tire material: The main component of tires is rubber. The maximum storage and anti-aging period for rubber, from natural latex to EPDM and nitrile, does not exceed 10 years. The average service life of various rubber products in use is 3-5 years.
My family car has been running for seven or eight years, and I've changed tires several times. Experience tells me that tire lifespan usually depends on mileage and age. Generally, passenger car tires can last about 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers, or should be replaced after 4 to 6 years of use, but this varies from person to person. For example, I drive in the city for commuting, with good road conditions and steady driving, so they might last longer. But if you often drive on rough roads or highways, the wear will be faster. Once, I didn't notice that the tread had worn out, and the car skidded dangerously when turning, which really scared me. Since then, I've made it a habit to check tire pressure and wear once a year, and replace them promptly if I find cracks or signs of aging. There are small bumps on the side of the tire, and when the tread depth drops to 1.6mm, it's time to replace them. Safety first—never delay.
