How long do tires last? 5 Key Signs You Need to Replace Your Tires

Do we know when to replace the tires we currently use? Do you encounter scratches, bulges and nails in your tires, and is it time to replace them? Here we give you some tire replacement basics.

We recommend that car tires, light truck tires, and spare tires that have been used for 5 years or more should be inspected in detail at least once a year. Any tire that is 10 years old or older from the date of manufacture is recommended to be replaced immediately to ensure safe use.

Tires should always be replaced once they become cracked or bulged. Tire bulging is the result of cord breakage, excessive pressure inside the tire, extremely flat tire accident. Tires must be replaced!
