Will changing tires outside of 4S stores affect the warranty?

[RyderAnn]

No. Here are the precautions for changing tires: Check the shelf life of the tires: Tires have a shelf life. Generally, tires should not be stored for more than 3 years from the date of production, and should not be used for more than 8 years after installation. In fact, the production date is usually indicated by 4 digits near the rim on the tire sidewall, such as 4714, which means the tire was produced in the 47th week of 2014. Observe the tread pattern and color of the tire: Since old tires are severely worn and substandard retreaded tires are processed irregularly, their tread patterns are relatively shallow. Check the tire hairs: New original tires will have many tire hairs on the surface, which will gradually disappear after driving about 5-10 kilometers. Retreaded tires cannot replicate these tire hairs.
