How Many Miles Do Car Tires Last?
Modern tires typically last 40,000 to 50,000 miles. A tire can last a variable amount of miles depending on a few factors including proper inflation, avoiding road hazards, avoiding extreme driving, rubber quality of the tire and age of the tire.Maintaining Good Tire PressureAccording to fueleconomy.gov, gas mileage can be improved 3.3 percent simply by keeping tires properly inflated. All tires should be neither underinflated nor overinflated. Underinflation will cause excessive wear at the edges of the tire while overinflation will cause excessive wear to the center of the tire. Underinflated tires also tend to overheat which can lead to tire damage and even blowouts. This can be avoided by checking tire pressure weekly to maintain optimal levels of inflation in all tires.Avoiding Road HazardsThere are many road hazards that can wear down the tire or destroy it including debris, deformities and collisions. Collisions with another car or objects like the curbside can cause tire damage
