How Long Do Tires Last? Mileage and Age Guidelines
Most passenger tires last somewhere between 40,000 and 60,000 miles, though the range is wide. Treadwear warranties on all-season tires often run 50,000 to 80,000 miles, while performance and summer tires may wear out in 20,000 to 35,000 miles.
What shortens tire life
- Under- or over-inflation.
- Skipping rotations.
- Poor alignment.
- Aggressive driving and heavy loads.
- Hot climates and long sun exposure.
How to get more miles
- Check pressure monthly against the door-jamb sticker.
- Rotate every 5,000 to 7,500 miles.
- Fix alignment problems early.
- Replace all four at once, or at least in axle pairs.
Age matters too
Even if the tread looks fine, check the date code on the sidewall. Many manufacturers recommend inspection after six years and replacement by ten.
