Will a Worn-Out Tire Cause a Blowout?
1 Answers
Tires that are worn out are not recommended for continued driving, as they are prone to blowouts. Here is some relevant information about tires: 1. Wear: Tires have wear indicators. There is a triangular mark on the sidewall of the tire, and when the tread wears down to the point indicated by the triangle, it is recommended to replace the tire. Inside the tread grooves, there are also raised markers; when the tread wears down to the level of these raised markers, the tire should be replaced. A simple puncture can be repaired without needing a replacement, but a bulging tire must be replaced. 2. Aging: Rubber oxidizes when exposed to air, and oxidized rubber becomes hard, reducing traction. Therefore, even if a set of tires is not used, their lifespan will decrease. It is not recommended to use tires for more than 5 years from the date of production, which is indicated on the sidewall of the tire.
