How Long Do Tires Last?
While there are many variables to consider, such as tire compound and usage, the average passenger car tire will last roughly 50,000 miles or four years. This can vary depending on your suspension alignment, drive wheels, miles per year, and driving style.
Because these factors can vary so greatly, it's best to check your tires yourself by using a simple trick. Take a penny and place Abe's head into your tire's tread. If your tires are in good condition, you should not be able to see his head over your tire tread. If you can see the top of his forehead or lower, your tires are too worn and need to be replaced.
When Should I Buy New Tires?
Right away! Just because the weather is nice doesn't mean you should neglect buying new tires for your car. Even when conditions are clear and dry, bald tires can be extremely dangerous. If you're concerned about saving money, buying new tires will help improve your fuel economy as well, so not buying new tires can actually be costing you money!
