What Factors Affect Tires Life Expectancy?
When thinking about tire life, there are really two questions that need answers. “How many miles do tires last” and “how many miles should tires last”. These have different answers, depending on several factors.
- Type of tire: High performance tires have more grip but may wear faster than all-season tires which have less rolling resistance.
- Treadwear rating: Tires come with treadwear rating which will rate the life expectancy of the treads.
- Drivetrain: You’ll get different wear based on front-wheel, rear-wheel, and all-wheel drive vehicles as this determines where the main power goes.
- Road conditions: If you regularly drive on dirt or gravel, or you constantly run into rain, salt, snow, and ice, your tires will wear more quickly. Off-roading also impacts this.
- Terrain: Live around a lot of inclines? The increased friction of stopping and starting on a slope will wear your tires.
- Driving habits: Accelerating or braking aggressively or quickly, as opposed to gradually, wears tires faster.
Tire Care Tips For Long-Lasting Tires
Beyond simply adhering to better driving habits, Dallas drivers can help extend tire life by following these tips as well:
- Inspect for proper air pressure when you fill your gas tank, as many gas stations have tire inflation stations.
- Regularly inspect tire tread depth for tire tread wear.
- Rotate your tires for more even distribution of tire wear.
- Take your vehicle in for regularly scheduled maintenance.
