How Many Miles Do Tires Last?

Tires are expected to wear out over time, but how many miles should tires last? As long as you’re using an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) tire or a high-quality tire, and maintaining them properly, then you expect your tires to last 50,000 to 60,000 miles. However, there are numerous factors that can impact your tire’s lifespan. Get the details below with the New Carlisle Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram service center!

Factors That Impact the Lifespan of Tires

While you know roughly how many miles tires last, there are circumstances that can cause your tires to wear out in as little as 30,000 miles, such as:

• Drivetrain: All-wheel drive, front-wheel drive, and rear-wheel drive vehicles have tires that wear differently due to where the power is focused.
• Tire type: High-performance tires have extra grip but may wear faster than all-season tires which have less rolling resistance.
• Treadwear rating: Check the treadwear rating for your tires. This is an estimate of how long you can expect your tire treads to last.
• Road conditions: Driving on dirt and gravel roads will give your tires a beating, as will off-roading. What’s more, weather-related conditions like snow, salt, ice, and rain can also affect tires.
• Terrain: If you live in an area with a lot of hills or mountains, your tires will experience more friction trying to climb inclines.
• Driving habits: If you’re putting the pedal to the medal or riding the brakes, you’ll find it will affect your tires.

Tips for Longer-Lasting Tires

While there may be some things outside of your control, like the weather in the Springfield and Huber Heights area, there are things you can do to help preserve your tires, such as:

• Take your vehicle in for regularly scheduled maintenance.
• Regularly check the air pressure of your tires and make sure they’re properly inflated
• Inspect your tire tread depth for signs of wear
• Rotate your tires for more even distribution of tire wear.
