What to Do If the Edge of the Tire Is Slightly Scratched Off?
1 Answers
If the tread is slightly scratched off and not very deep, it can continue to be used normally. However, if the steel wire is exposed, it needs to be repaired or replaced with a new tire. Below is relevant information about tires: 1. Wear: Tires have wear indicators. There are triangle marks on the side of the tire. When the wear reaches the point indicated by the triangle mark, it is recommended to replace the tire. There are also raised marks inside the tire's drainage grooves. When the wear reaches the level of these raised marks on the tire surface, the tire should be replaced. Simple punctures can be repaired without needing replacement. Bulges must be replaced. 2. Aging: Rubber oxidizes in the air, and oxidized rubber hardens, reducing grip. Therefore, even if a set of tires is left unused, its lifespan will decrease. It is not recommended to use tires for more than 5 years from the production date. The production date is marked on the side of the tire.
