There is no absolute time statement regarding the service life of tires. Generally speaking, we will propose replacement suggestions based on the degree of tire usage, which should be the most reasonable method of tire use.
The statement of using 3-5 years in the tire manual is not unacceptable, but it should also be judged based on the actual situation. For example, if a car is 3 years old but used infrequently, the owner should only use it as a backup vehicle. If the mileage is less than 10000 kilometers in 3 years, we do not recommend replacing it. However, if the time is very long and the mileage is 10000 kilometers in 8 years, the frequency of tire use may not be high, But long-term exposure to wind, sun, and sun can't withstand tires, so the possibility of replacement is relatively high. So, it is necessary to judge whether to replace tires based on a combination of usage level and time.
Meanwhile, car enthusiasts should also pay attention to the following points:
1. Do not use bulging tires anymore. It is normal to have bulging tires on the roadside of the car, but the tires can no longer be used. The probability of a bulging tire exploding while driving on the road is greatly increased.
2. Use tires that have been repaired multiple times with caution. This type of tire is not recommended for high-speed driving. If you want to drive on the highway for a long time or are about to travel long distances, it is recommended to replace tires that have been repaired multiple times, as this will greatly improve safety.
3. The spare tire is a spare tire, and long-term use is not safe. Nowadays, cars are equipped with tires that are one size smaller in size and specifications, so there are generally speed limit regulations. Even full-size spare tires become aged due to long-term placement, which affects driving safety. Therefore, senior brother does not recommend long-term use of spare tires.
4. In winter, the tire pressure should be increased by 0.1-0.2 compared to the normal value, which is more appropriate between 2.5-2.8.
