How Many Kilometers Can New Tires Run?

New tires can generally last for 50,000 to 80,000 kilometers, depending on factors such as the owner's maintenance of the tires and the road conditions the vehicle is driven on. Below are some relevant introductions about car tires: Introduction 1: Car tires are one of the important components of a vehicle, directly in contact with the road surface. Together with the car suspension, they help absorb shocks during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving. Introduction 2: They ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road, improving the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capability. Additionally, they bear the weight of the car. The important role tires play in vehicles has gained increasing attention from people.

There's no fixed number for tire lifespan. After driving for 20 years, I've found many factors affect it. For regular family car tires, getting 50,000-60,000 km is normal - my Michelin set lasted 70,000 km. But if you frequently drive on construction sites or mountain roads with lots of gravel, they might wear out in just 30,000-40,000 km. Tire pressure is crucial - my neighbor had a blowout last month from forgetting to inflate them, with one side worn unevenly like dog teeth. Remember to check the triangle wear indicator on tires - when tread wears down to that mark, replacement is mandatory or you risk dangerous hydroplaning in rain. Regular wheel alignment can extend tire life by 10,000-20,000 km - money well spent.

As a long-haul truck driver, tires are my livelihood. When driving heavy trucks, top-brand tubeless tires can last up to 150,000 kilometers, while passenger car tires generally reach their limit at around 70,000-80,000 kilometers. Load capacity has a huge impact – once I overloaded by 30% and the tires developed bulges after just 30,000 kilometers. Summer driving on asphalt wears tires faster than winter, as rubber softens when temperatures rise. I recommend checking tread depth every 5,000 kilometers using a coin – national standards require at least 1.6mm. By the way, rear-wheel drive vehicles show more wear on front tires, while it's the opposite for front-wheel drive. Don't wait for a blowout to replace them – any sidewall cracks mean it's time to discard the tire.

My best friend just asked me if she should change her tires, as her new ones have only been used for two years. Actually, mileage isn't as important as time. My car doesn't even drive 10,000 kilometers a year, but the mechanic said rubber deteriorates after five years. During the last maintenance, I found tiny cracks all over the tire sidewalls—even though the tread was still deep, they had to be replaced. City commuting is easier on tires than highway driving, but frequent hard braking really wears them out. My husband brakes aggressively, so his tires always wear out faster than mine. Also, avoid scraping the curb when parking; a damaged tire sidewall means immediate failure. Remember to replace tires in pairs—it's safer to have two new tires on the drive axle.
