What is the service life of Michelin tires?
1 Answers
Generally, the service life of Michelin tires is about 3 years or approximately 50,000 kilometers. The lifespan or mileage of Michelin tires is influenced by many factors as follows: 1. Working air pressure: Both under-inflation and over-inflation will affect the tire's service life. If the tire pressure is too low, its radial deformation will increase, causing excessive deformation on both sidewalls, which leads to shoulder wear on the tread crown. This raises the tire temperature and significantly shortens the tire's lifespan. 2. Climate environment: The local climate conditions in different regions can affect the rubber aging speed of tires. Aged tires lose their proper elasticity, and continued use may cause tread deformation, increasing the risk of blowouts and reducing braking effectiveness. 3. Tire temperature: During driving, tires experience tension, compression, and friction, which raises their temperature. Excessive temperature can accelerate tire wear and even cause blowouts. 4. Driving habits: This is a factor directly related to the car owner. Aggressive acceleration, sudden turns, emergency braking, high-speed driving on rough roads, frequently mounting curbs, and scraping obstacles when parking can all cause severe tire wear, thereby shortening the tire's lifespan.
