Tire sidewall cracks, if relatively minor, may still allow for city driving, but high-speed or long-distance travel should be avoided. If the cracks deepen, the tire should no longer be used and must be replaced immediately. At this stage, the tire has undergone significant aging, and the sidewall is particularly vulnerable. Continued use may lead to air leakage or even a blowout, posing serious safety risks. Here are some additional details: 1. Tire lifespan: Generally, tires have a service life of 3-5 years. Around the 3-year mark, aging begins to occur, with fine cracks appearing on the sidewalls or tread. Over time, these cracks will gradually deepen. Beyond 5 years, tires are usually severely aged and should no longer be used—prompt replacement is necessary. 2. Methods to delay tire aging: (1) Try to park in shaded areas to prevent prolonged exposure to sunlight; (2) Avoid contact with corrosive substances such as oil or chemicals, which can damage the tire; (3) Consider using tire care products like tire glaze or tire wax to slow down the aging process; (4) Never overload the vehicle, as excessive weight can overstress the tire sidewalls; (5) After 3 years of use, regularly inspect the tire's condition.
