What Factors Impact Tires Life?

The common questions, “How many miles should tires last?” and “How many miles do tires last?” sometimes have different answers. Many factors affect tire life expectancy, including the following:

• Drivetrain: Tires wear out differently on front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive cars.
• Type of tire: High-performance tires provide extra grip but wear out faster than all-season tires with less rolling resistance.
• Treadwear rating: Tires include a treadwear rating, which rates the life expectancy of the tires by the number of miles they should last.
• Terrain: If you drive in an area with many hills, your tires will undergo more friction to start and stop the vehicle than on flat surfaces.
• Road conditions: If you often drive around Omaha on gravel or dirt roads, or you encounter a lot of salt, snow, rain, or ice, your tires won’t last as long as they would without those conditions. .
• Driving habits: Accelerating and braking suddenlywill wear your tires out faster than accelerating gradually and coasting to a stop.
