How Many Miles Do Tires Last?

These are commercial truck tires
 

A good set of tires can be tough on the wallet, so many drivers want to hang onto their well-worn set as long as possible. But the truth is that even with the gentlest driving possible, your tires will need to be replaced eventually. But, how many miles should tires last with good care? That depends, but the team at Landers McLarty Ford is here to help you get a good estimate. Learn the top service tips with us, and be sure to visit our service center in Fort Payne!

 

 

How Many Miles Should Tires Last?

On average, tires last around 50,000 to 60,000 miles. However, there are a multitude of variables that go into your tire lifespan. First, manufacturers design their tires differently. Some guarantee their tires for 80,000 miles, while others only guarantee them for 30,000 miles or so. Check the treadwear rating to see approximately how long the tread will last.

Second, your driving habits influence your tire wear and tear as well. Do you drive with caution around Centre, or do you have a lead foot on those Trion, GA roads? Do you drive mostly on highways, or do you love your off-road weekends in Chattanooga, TN? Aggressive driving habits and harsher road conditions will wear your tires down fast, which means you’ll need replacements much sooner.

How to Make Your Tires Last Longer 

Now you know how many miles should tires last, but what if you want to really maximize your tire usage on the Chattanooga, TN roads? Maintenance and good driving habits are key, and here are some tips we recommend:

  • Accelerate and brake gently
  • Check your air pressure often
  • Get your wheels aligned and rotated regularly

Feel free to ask our service technicians for personalized recommendations based on your vehicle and driving habits. We’d be happy to help you determine when to rotate your tires or how to measure your tread from home!
