How Long Do Car Tires Last?
2 Answers
Generally, there is no specific lifespan limit for car tires. It mainly depends on the mileage driven, along with daily maintenance and tire quality. Typically, car tires can last for more than five years, after which they begin to age. Car tires ensure good comfort and smooth driving, providing excellent adhesion between the tire and the road surface. Tire pressure fluctuates with temperature changes. When temperatures rise, tire pressure increases, leading to accelerated wear and a shorter lifespan for the tires.
The lifespan of car tires is something you really need to be careful about. I've been driving for over a decade myself, and it's not just about mileage. Generally speaking, you should pay attention after three to six years or 40,000 to 50,000 kilometers, but there are many influencing factors. For example, driving habits like sudden braking or hard acceleration can increase wear, and bumpy roads in old urban areas can cause tires to age prematurely. My neighbor's car had tire surface cracks from long-term parking in high temperatures, which nearly caused a blowout on the highway. Safety first—regularly check tire pressure and tread depth; if it's below 1.6 millimeters, it's time to replace them. I recommend checking the tire surface yourself every six months. If you see cracks or bulges, don't delay—get them checked at a professional shop immediately. This stuff is about your family's safety.
