Everyone knows that the condition of the tires is related to our driving stability, and more importantly, to our driving safety. As is well known, every time you drive, the tires wear out. So how long can car tires last? Of course, we cannot rely on the usage cycle stated in the manual, but should analyze it according to the actual situation. However, it can be certain that in these three situations, the tire needs to be replaced immediately.

Tire wear to its limit

There is a wear limit mark at the groove of the tire tread, and the thickness of the wear mark is generally around 1.6mm. Once the pattern on the surface of the tire wears to 1.6mm, it must be replaced immediately because excessive wear can lead to poor performance, such as poor grip and drainage, posing significant safety hazards. Therefore, once the wear limit mark is reached, the tire must be replaced as soon as possible.

Bulging on the sidewall of the tire

If there is bulge or serious scratch on the sidewall of the tire, it is also necessary to replace it with a new tire as soon as possible. If the tire bulges and continues to drive, the risk of a tire blowout becomes very high. If the speed is too high, it is even more dangerous. Meanwhile, if the tire is severely scratched and has already damaged the tire body, it is also easy to experience a tire blowout, and it is necessary to replace the tire as soon as possible.

The service life or mileage has reached

Each tire has its service life, with a typical lifespan of around 3-5 years and a driving range of around 50000 kilometers. Beyond this period or mileage, tire wear will become very severe and cannot continue to support it. So, we need to pay attention to the service life and mileage of the tires, and replace them in a timely manner when it's time. However, we also need to check the condition of the tires. If you don't drive frequently, you may want to continue using them for a while.

Conclusion: Under normal circumstances, car tires can generally be used for 3-5 years with a driving range of about 50000 kilometers.
