The quality of tires directly affects driving safety, especially driving at high speeds, once a flat tire is very dangerous. Therefore, it is particularly important to check the tires at ordinary times, and once an abnormality is found, it needs to be replaced in time to eliminate potential safety hazards. But there is no need to replace it too early, and it is a waste to replace it early. So how long is the life of a tire?When should I change my tires?
Let's talk about the answer first, the life of normal tires is generally about 6 years, and the kilometers are about 100,000 kilometers, which will be slightly different according to the use of different tires. If you use the environment is relatively bad, often walk on potholed roads, often expose to the sun, often walk in some factories with oil stains, etc., the life span will be reduced, and it may be time to change it in 5 years. If you walk on a good road and have your own garage, you will have a longer life expectancy if you are not exposed to the wind and sun every day, and it may take 8 years to replace it.
So how can you tell if it's time to change your tires?Judging from the following aspects:1When the life of the tire is up, it is generally necessary to check the degree of aging after 6 years, how to see the degree of agingIt depends on whether there are cracks on the side of the tire, and the number and size of the cracks. If the cracks are larger and more numerous, it proves that they have aged and need to be replaced. If it is full of very small cracks, it means that the degree of aging is very slight and can be used continuously. It takes a certain amount of experience to judge the degree of aging, and you need to observe a lot of tires before you can form a standard, what is serious and what is slight, so if you are not good at judging yourself, it is best to go to the repair shop to find a master to confirm. Generally speaking, if the vehicle is parked in the open every day, it will basically reach the end of its life by 6 years.
2.By observing the wear of the tires, this is for vehicles with more mileage, the tires are not aging, but the mileage is more and the wear is serious. There are some small bumps in the deepest groove on the front of the tire, when the tire is worn to the level of the small bulge, it means that the tire should be replaced, these bulges are the wear warning line, and here it means that the tire is worn very thin and must be replaced.
3.Observe the appearance of the tire and the condition of the injury. If the tire is squeezed and the sides bulge, the cord is broken and must be replaced. If a tire has been cut off a piece of rubber, revealing the wire or cord inside, it must be replaced. If the tire is corroded and the surface is peeling, it must be replaced. If the tire is punctured, it must be replaced more than three times.
If the tires are aging moderately and on the verge of being replaceable or not, you should consider your own car situation. If you have been traveling in the urban area, the driving is not fast, and the driving distance is very close every day, you can not change it, and then use it for a period of time to change it when the aging is serious. If you have the need to run at high speeds, and occasionally run at high speeds, then you need to replace them as soon as possible. Because of the fast speed on the highway, the damage to the tires is more harmful.
