Factors That Affect Tires’ Life Expectancy

While a new set of tires should last around 50,000 miles, there are a few key factors that can either prolong or shorten their lifespan:

• Type of tire: While high-performance tires have the benefit of extra grip, they also have more rolling resistance than all-season tires, causing them to wear out faster.
• Treadwear rating: Your tires’ treadwear rating rates the life expectancy of the tire treads, which are designed to maximize traction on the Brownwood roads.
• Drivetrain: Your vehicle’s drivetrain will affect how fast the tires deteriorate, since they wear out differently for front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive configurations.
• Road conditions: If you consistently drive on gravel or dirt roads, or through icy, rainy, and snowy weather conditions, your tires will end up wearing out faster.
• Terrain: Frequent driving on roads with inclines will wear your tires out faster because they require more friction to start and stop your vehicle.
• Driving habits: Quickly accelerating and braking your vehicle will put more strain on the tires and cause them to deteriorate faster.

Tips for Long-Lasting Tires

There are plenty of things you can do to get the longest lifespan possible out of your tires. For more information, check out our tire basics.

• Regularly inspect for proper air pressure when you’re filling up at a gas station.
• Regularly inspect your tire tread depth to make sure your tire tread wear is within a safe limit.
• Rotate your tires to evenly distribute tire wear. The method of rotation differs depending on whether you have a front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, or all-wheel drive vehicle.
• Make sure you follow your vehicle’s maintenance schedule and regularly bring it into a service center to be inspected.
