Car tires for 6 years, the wear is not bad, but there are many cracks, can you still run at high speed?
Tires are crucial for safe driving, but we often find tiny cracks in tires in the process of daily use of cars, do cracks still affect the use? How exactly do you know if a tire needs to be replaced? Mainly from these points.
1. Mileage and years
Generally speaking, the service life of a tire is 5-6 years, and it can travel 70,000-80,000 kilometers, but it should be noted that the mileage or age is the first to arrive. Because even if you don't drive much, the rubber will become hard and brittle, increasing the risk of flat tires.
Second, wear and tear
Some tires have wear marks, and when the marked position is reached, the tires must be replaced.
If there is no wear mark, it can be judged by the thickness of the wear. The state stipulates that the wear limit of radial tires is 1.6mm, and when the depth of the pattern is lower than 1.6mm, it must be replaced.
3. Injury
As mentioned at the beginning, some tires do not wear and tear even if the age or mileage does not reach the upper limit, but the damage is more serious, and this tire also needs to consider tire replacement. First of all, the case of the bulge, if the tire appears bulging, remember not to be able to go to the high speed, it is best to change the tire, otherwise it is very easy to burst the tire; followed by cracks, if the tire has a large area of cracks, it indicates that the tire has been seriously aged, not suitable for high speed; finally talk about the tire repair situation, more than 2 or more times of tire repair, it is not recommended to go to the high speed.
Fourth, the performance of grip
If your tires slip in rain, accelerate performance is significantly reduced, corners are not gripping, braking distance is significantly extended, etc., it is recommended to replace the tires as appropriate.
The use of tires is crucial to the driving safety of the car, it is better to save a little on other auto parts, but also not to save money on the tires, because too many accidents are caused by tire aging, and must be paid attention to. If there is a large area of cracks, or cracks appear on the side tire wall, it is best to replace the tire, and must not go on the high speed, if the tire burst may be destroyed.
