When do tires need to be replaced?
Mechanics (different vehicle systems)
Explanation
To ensure safety while driving, it is essential to keep the **tires** in good condition. One of the most important aspects to check is the **tread depth** of the tire. This tread is the part of the tire that is in contact with the road and must have **grooves** with a minimum depth of **1.6 millimeters**.
These grooves are essential because they allow the tire to:
- Grip the road better.
- Displace water when it rains, preventing the risk of hydroplaning.
- Avoid overheating.
- Be more flexible and roll better.
Therefore, if the tread depth is less than **1.6 mm**, it is necessary to change the tires to ensure good performance and avoid accidents. Additionally, it is advisable to regularly check the tire pressure and ensure they do not show deformations, blisters, or cracks.
