How Long Can Michelin Tires Last?
1 Answers
Under normal circumstances, Michelin tires can last about 3 years or approximately 50,000 kilometers. The service life or mileage of Michelin tires is influenced by many factors as follows: 1. Working air pressure: Both underinflation and overinflation will affect the tire's lifespan. If the tire pressure is too low, its radial deformation will increase, causing excessive deformation on both sides of the tire wall, which leads to shoulder wear on the tread crown. This also raises the tire temperature, significantly shortening its service life. 2. Climate environment: Local climate conditions in different regions affect the aging speed of tire rubber. Aged tires lose their elasticity, and continued use may cause tread deformation, increasing the risk of blowouts and reducing braking effectiveness. 3. Tire temperature: During driving, tires heat up due to stretching, compression, and friction. Excessive temperature can accelerate tire wear and even cause blowouts. 4. Driving habits: This factor is directly related to the driver. Aggressive acceleration, sudden turns, emergency braking, high-speed driving on poor road conditions, frequent curb climbing, and scraping obstacles when parking can all cause severe tire wear, thereby shortening the tire's lifespan.
