How Many Miles Do Tires Last?

The tires that come equipped on our new vehicles could last for anywhere between 50,000 and 70,000 miles, but most drivers should replace their tires at least once every six years. When that time comes, choose the replacement tires that you’ll find at an OEM-approved tire store. Only OEM parts are guaranteed to work just as well as the equipment you’re replacing.

What Factors Affect Tires’ Life Expectancy?

How many miles do tires last in the real world? The better question is: “How many miles should tires last with proper care and maintenance?” After all, the gap between 50,000 and 70,000 miles is a significant one.

Here, we’ve highlighted some of the primary factors that can affect the lifespan of your tires as you drive around Colts Neck and Rumson:

• You may love the high-performance, high-grip tires on your Jaguar, but this extra grip actually causes them to wear out more quickly! If you want your tires to last longer, choose an all-season alternative.
• Check the treadwear rating on any set of tires before you buy. This should give you an idea of how long your tires are expected to last.
• The way your drivetrain directs power to each wheel has a major impact on tread wear. The tires on AWD vehicles will tend to wear out slightly faster, and they also need more care.
• Rough terrain–including road construction, gravel, dirt, and ice–will wear down your tires more quickly than pavement. That’s just as true for the driver who plans on going off-road or the driver who regularly has to pass over steep inclines.
• The more time you spend accelerating and braking, the faster your tires will wear down! Lay off the gas and coast to a halt if you want your tires to last longer.

Building a Maintenance Routine for Long-Lasting Tires

Getting more value from your vehicle’s tires doesn’t require you to change everything about the way you drive. In fact, the steps that will have the greatest impact are those you take with our service team:

• Inspect the air pressure on your tires regularly. Ideally, do so every time you fill up your gas tank.
• Regularly inspect your tire tread to see how, and how quickly, it’s wearing down.
• Rotate your tires once every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, or whenever the difference between your tread depths exceeds 1/16 of an inch. You can even learn how to rotate tires at home.
• You should also ask your technician to check your wheel alignment whenever you schedule service.
