How many kilometers can a tire run?

[DeAugust]

A tire can run for 8,000-10,000 kilometers. Below are specific details about tires: 1. Definition: A tire is a circular elastic rubber product assembled on various vehicles or machinery to roll on the ground. It is usually mounted on a metal rim to support the vehicle body, cushion external impacts, achieve contact with the road surface, and ensure the vehicle's driving performance. Tires are often used under complex and harsh conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and high and low temperatures during operation. Therefore, they must possess high load-bearing performance, traction performance, and cushioning performance. At the same time, they are required to have high wear resistance and flex resistance, as well as low rolling resistance and heat generation. Half of the world's rubber consumption is used for tire production, highlighting the significant rubber demand for tires. 2. Function: Tires are one of the most important components of a vehicle. Their main functions include supporting the entire weight of the vehicle and bearing the vehicle's load; transmitting traction and braking torque to ensure the adhesion between the wheels and the road surface; reducing and absorbing vibrations and impacts during driving to prevent severe vibrations and premature damage to vehicle components; adapting to the vehicle's high-speed performance and reducing driving noise; and ensuring driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and energy efficiency.

I've been driving a taxi for over 20 years, so I know tires inside out. Regular family car tires can last 60,000 kilometers no problem, while durable ones can go up to 80,000. The key is how you drive - I never slam on the brakes or accelerator, so my tires last extra long. You've got to check tire pressure monthly too; underinflation wears out the tire edges fast. Also, park away from direct sunlight - UV rays make rubber age quicker. I rotate my tires every 10,000 km to even out the wear. Don't wait until the tread is completely worn down; start planning to replace when tread depth goes below 3mm, otherwise they'll skid easily in rain. Remember to regularly pick out stones - small rocks stuck in grooves can be dangerous at high speeds.

As a mother of two, I'm particularly concerned about tire safety. Generally, tires are recommended to be replaced every 50,000 to 70,000 kilometers, but it depends on the actual condition. I make it a habit to walk around the car before driving, mainly checking for bulges or cracks in the tires. I always keep a tire pressure gauge in the trunk and inflate the tires when the pressure is below the standard value. Frequent starts during traffic jams while picking up and dropping off the kids can be especially hard on the front tires, so I rotate the front and rear tires every six months. It's also important to pay attention to the age of the tires; rubber begins to deteriorate after three years, so even if the tread looks good, they should be replaced. Last time during maintenance, the mechanic taught me to use a coin to check the tread depth—if the head on the coin isn't visible when inserted into the tread, it's time to replace the tires.

Those who are into car modifications know that how long your tires last depends entirely on how you push them. I've tried no less than ten types of tires—performance tires are usually done by 40,000 km, while durable ones can last up to 80,000 km. But don't just focus on mileage—two laps on a track day can wear tires as much as two months of daily driving. To extend their lifespan, proper wheel balancing is a must; even slight rim deformation can cause uneven wear. I also keep a tire pressure monitor handy to check temperature changes, especially since high-speed driving in hot conditions is particularly harsh on tires. Every 5,000 km, I inspect the tread wear—if it's uneven, I get a wheel alignment immediately. If there’s any sidewall bulge, I replace the tire right away—a blowout is no joke.

A decade of car repair experience reveals that tire lifespan varies between 50,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Premium quiet tires like Michelin typically last 50,000-60,000 km, while domestic wear-resistant tires can endure 70,000-80,000 km. Key maintenance includes: monthly tire pressure checks, annual wheel alignment, and tire rotation during routine servicing. Common issues like uneven wear often indicate suspension problems - replacing tires without fixing the root cause is futile. Tires feature wear indicators in grooves; replacement is mandatory when tread reaches these raised markers. Never overlook manufacturing dates - sidewall cracking after six years poses serious highway risks. Always perform wheel balancing during tire changes to prevent steering wheel vibration.
