What is the purpose of grinding tire markings?
1 Answers
Tire marking grinding is done by manufacturers to avoid claims. Below is an introduction to ground-mark tires and precautions for their use: Ground-mark tires: Ground-mark tires, also known as cut-mark tires, are tires with the white barcode (located at the tire bead area) ground off. Moreover, they are non-warranty products, which could be either factory-rejected defective items or qualified products. The reason for grinding off the white barcode is to prevent manufacturers from facing claim complications. As for export-turned-domestic gray market tires and cross-regional parallel import tires, they are sold at low prices only after undergoing the marking grinding process. Precautions for using ground-mark tires: Most ground-mark tires have issues with dynamic balance, while other parts remain normal, and this does not pose a risk of tire blowouts. However, if you frequently drive on highways (or at speeds below 60km/h), it is best not to use ground-mark tires.
