How Often Should the Tire Valve Core Be Replaced?

It is usually recommended to replace the tire valve core every three years, but the specific replacement cycle depends on its operating environment, the total mileage of the vehicle, and the aging and damage of the valve core itself. Once the valve core is found to have signs of leakage, deformation, etc., it should be replaced immediately, which is an indispensable part of ensuring driving safety.

The valve core, as a key component for tire inflation and deflation, is exquisitely designed. The upper end is hollow for gas circulation, and the lower end is solid with small holes connected to the hollow part, ensuring the smooth entry and exit and sealing of gas. However, since its main material is rubber, it is exposed to the external environment for a long time and subjected to various impacts and wear of vehicle driving. The aging of the valve core becomes an inevitable process, which may cause it to crack and deform, thereby affecting the sealing effect.

At the same time, the tire valve is the gateway connecting the tire to the outside world, and its health status cannot be ignored. Usually, the replacement cycle of the valve is similar to that of the valve core, about 3 to 4 years, to ensure that the valve can continue to effectively complete the inflation and sealing tasks, and prevent safety hazards caused by leakage, such as tire blowouts. When the valve shows obvious signs of aging, such as poor sealing, it should be replaced in time with the tire to ensure smooth and safe driving.

In summary, in order to maintain the best performance of the tire and ensure driving safety, it is recommended that car owners regularly check the valve core and valve of the tire. Once any abnormality or signs of aging are found, corresponding replacement measures should be taken immediately.
