Question 6599
When is it recommended to replace the tires?
- Every 5,000 kilometers.
- 5 years after the date of manufacture.
- When the tread depth is less than 2.6 millimeters.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: 5 years after the date of manufacture.
You should replace tires about 5 years after their manufacture date, which is stamped on the sidewall, even if they still have tread, because the rubber ages. There is no fixed number of kilometers, and 2.6 mm is not a limit. On a passenger car, the legal minimum is 1.6 mm. In the image, a mechanic is checking a front tire.
