Question 5135
It is necessary to change the vehicle's tires...
- only if they show irregular wear, cuts, cracks, or deformations.
- only if the tread depth is less than 1.6 millimeters.
- at least every 5 years, even if they are not worn.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: at least every 5 years, even if they are not worn.
The rubber ages even if the car is rarely driven, and over time it hardens and loses grip. That is why you should replace the tires at least every 5 years, even if they still have tread and are undamaged. Cracks, deformation, or tread below 1.6 mm also require replacement, but they are not the only reasons. In the image, a mechanic is examining the tire with a flashlight.
