Question 6018
You must replace your vehicle's tires...
- every 5 years if they do not have enough tread.
- at least every 5 years.
- at least every 10 years.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: at least every 5 years.
Even if you barely use the car, the tire rubber ages, hardens, and loses grip. That is why you should replace the tires no later than 5 years after manufacture, regardless of how much tread they have left. Waiting 10 years is too long, and if the tread falls below the minimum, the tire must be replaced then, without waiting for any time interval to pass.
