What Factors Affect Tire Life Expectancy?
The questions “how many miles do tires last” and “how many miles should tires last” often have different answers, due to several factors.
- Type of tire: High-performance tires will have an extra grip, but they tend to wear faster than all-season tires that have less rolling resistance.
- Treadwear rating: Your tires also come with a treadwear rating to rate the life expectancy of the tire treads.
- Drivetrain: Tires wear differently on FWD, RWD, and AWD vehicles, because of where the main power for forward motion comes from.
- Road conditions: If you do a lot of driving on gravel or dirt roads, or you encounter construction, snow, salt, rain, and ice, your tires will take more of a beating. Off-roading also makes a significant difference.
- Terrain: If you live in an area with inclines on the roads, more friction on the tires is needed to start and stop the vehicle than on flat surfaces.
- Driving habits: Having a lead foot on the gas and brakes will wear out your tires faster than accelerating gradually and letting coasting do some of the braking work.
Tire Care Tips For Long-Lasting Tires
While you always want to have safe driving habits, there are several things that you can do while on the roads in Mount Laurel to extend the life of their tires:
- Inspect for proper air pressure when you fill your gas tank, as many gas stations have tire inflation stations.
