What’s the Average Lifespan of a Tire?

Tires are tough - there's no doubt about that. Nevertheless, the rigors of those Freehold, Englishtown, Manalapan, and Marlboro streets can easily wear them down over time. But exactly how long tires last?

If you need to know how long your tires will last, then you've come to the right place. The Freehold Subaru team has all the answers that you're looking for.

Your Tires May Last Longer Than You Think

Tires are an expensive purchase. So, as soon as you buy yours, you might be saying, I hope I don't have to do that again anytime soon! And the truth is, as long as you drive responsibly and avoid bad roads, you really shouldn't have to.

If you're like the average driver and rack up roughly 12k-15k miles a year, then you should expect your tires to last for 3-4 years. Once again though, driving habits can really affect this number.

For example, some drivers are extra hard on the brakes (and extra hard on the accelerator, too). This doesn't just impact your brake system. It can cause your tires to wear extra fast.

If you want extra time with those wheels, then you need to drive at a reasonable speed and brake well-advance. And try to avoid potholes and bumps at all costs!

Routine Maintenance is Key Long-lastingaintenance Tires

The key to making any component of your car to last is routine maintenance. This is no different when it comes to tires. If you want to make them last as long as possible, then you'll want to do the following three things.

• Keep your tires filled. Driving around on under-inflated tires isn't just a road hazard, it can also cause them some serious, undue wear. Consult your owner's manual to determine what the regular tire pressure should be, and fill them up once a month or so.
• Rotate and rebalance your tires. Compared to some other maintenance items, this is an easy one. It's quick and simple, yet also something that can greatly impact your tires. Schedule a rotation with every oil change, for best results.
• Get an alignment. You'll know your front end is out of alignment if the steering wheel is off center or vibrates, or if the car pulls to one side when braking. They're typically due every two years or so, so be sure to schedule yours as soon as you notice something is off (your tires will thank you).
