How Long Do Tires Last
In the intricate dance between your vehicle and the open road, your tires take center stage. They're the unsung heroes, gripping the asphalt with every twist and turn. But have you ever asked yourself just how long do tires last?
As your trusted automotive partner, the Scranton DCJR (Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram) service center is here to answer that question and guide you on the path to ensuring your vehicle rides smoothly on the Scranton, Clarks Summit, Dickson City, and Dalton, Pennsylvania, roads.
How Long Tires Last
On average, the lifespan of a tire ranges from 25,000 to 50,000 miles. However, this estimate is influenced by various factors, such as your driving habits, road conditions, and maintenance practices.
Regular tire maintenance, including proper inflation, rotation, and alignment checks, can significantly extend their life, allowing you to stay smooth on the streets for longer.
Signs You Need New Tires
Understanding when your tires need replacement is crucial for both safety and optimal performance. Here are key signs indicating it might be time for a tire upgrade:
Tread Depth: Insufficient tread depth affects traction, especially in wet or icy conditions. Use the penny test—if you can see the top of Lincoln's head when it's inserted into the tread, it's time for new tires.
Irregular Wear: Uneven tread wear can signal alignment issues or improper inflation. Regularly inspect your tires for signs of wear and address alignment or inflation problems with our technicians as soon as possible.
Cracks and Bulges: Visible cracks on the sidewalls or bulges indicate structural damage. These issues compromise the tire's integrity and should be tended to immediately.
Age: Even if your tires have sufficient tread, they may need replacement if they're older than six years. Over time, the rubber degrades, leading to increased vulnerability to blowouts. Our team can help you find new vehicle tires!
