Factors That Influence Tire Lifespans

Keep the following factors in mind as you consider how many miles should tires last:

    • Tire type: Some tires, like high-performance tires, have deeper treads for extra traction around Amherst, and therefore wear more quickly than all-season tires, for example.
  • Tread rating: All tires come with a treadwear rating, which provides an expected lifespan of tire treads.
    • Drivetrain: Front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive vehicles distribute power differently to the tires, which in turn causes different wear.
    • Road conditions: Driving on gravel or dirt roads, and even through snow, rain, and ice, can deliver significant wear on your tires. Off-roading with your vehicle also makes a big difference.
  • Terrain: Areas around Lancaster with more inclines result in more friction on the tires when starting and stopping, as compared with starting and stopping on flat surfaces.
  • Driving habits: Strong acceleration and hard braking wear your tires out faster. To make them last longer, gradually accelerate and coast a bit before braking.

Tire Care Tips

Along with paying attention to the factors that influence tire health, consider these tips as well:

  • Inspect tire tread depth regularly for tire tread wear.
  • Get tire rotations with your oil changes for even wear distribution.
  • Inspect tire pressure occasionally when filling up on gas near Cheektowaga, as most gas stations have tire fill stations.
  • Keep up with routine maintenance.
