What to Do When Car Tires Have Cracks?
2 Answers
Solutions for car tires with cracks are as follows: 1. Generally, if new tires develop small cracks, it is usually not a problem and they can continue to be used. During daily use, it is important to regularly monitor the condition of the tires. If the cracks enlarge, they should be replaced promptly. 2. If the tires have been used for a long time and have multiple cracks, they must be replaced immediately. Tires that show signs of bulging should also be replaced immediately to avoid traffic accidents. Additional information about tires is as follows: 1. The specific replacement cycle for tires depends on their usage, but they should not be used for more than 6 years. 2. When replacing tires, it is necessary to use tires of the same size, speed rating, and load capacity as the original tires.
I've dealt with many such issues, and tire cracks require careful attention. First, stop the car and carefully inspect where the cracks are—whether on the tread or the sidewall. Minor wear lines usually aren't a big concern, but deep cracks, especially those exposing the cords, must be taken seriously. If you notice anything unusual while driving, pull over immediately and use the spare tire or call a tow truck. I recommend visiting a professional shop for an inspection—technicians can measure the depth with specialized tools to decide if the tire needs replacing. Don’t forget to regularly check tire pressure, as both overinflation and underinflation can lead to cracks. When parking, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to extend tire life. In short, don’t cut corners on safety—always prioritize it.
